Measure the impact, not just the outcomes with FREE event carbon footprint reporting…

FREE Event Carbon Footprint Reporting now available for your event at thestudio…

We all know sustainability has long moved from “nice to have” to “essential” when planning meetings and events. Stakeholders and delegates are increasingly asking for transparency around event environmental impact, and event organisers are under growing pressure to understand and reduce the carbon footprint of their activities.

The main problem? This can sometimes be a complicated, costly, time consuming and excruciating process. Or at least it used to be.

We’re SO excited to share that clients of thestudio now have access to the totally FREE IMPACTportal by Greengage Solutions, a simple self-service tool that enables organisers to measure the carbon footprint of their events quickly and at totally no cost!

Making Carbon Measurement Accessible

For many organisations, carbon reporting can feel complicated, expensive and time-consuming. Yet without measurement, it’s impossible to understand where emissions are being generated or identify opportunities for improvement.

IMPACTportal helps to remove these barriers by providing an easy-to-use platform that allows event organisers to calculate the environmental impact of their meetings and events in just a few simple steps. Better still, much of the venue data for thestudio locations is already pre-loaded into the system, making the process even faster and more straightforward.

The result is a personalised carbon footprint report that can be downloaded, shared with colleagues, presented to stakeholders and used as a benchmark for future events.

Why Does it Matter?

While large conferences often receive attention when it comes to sustainability reporting, smaller meetings have traditionally gone unmeasured. However, according to Greengage Solutions, smaller meetings account for around 80% of all business events, yet only a small proportion have any form of carbon measurement.

Whether you’re hosting a board meeting for 20 people, a training session, or a multi-day conference, every event creates an environmental impact. Understanding that impact is the first step towards reducing it.

With IMPACTportal, event organisers can gain valuable insights into areas such as delegate travel, accommodation, catering and materials used throughout the event. These insights help businesses make more informed decisions and support wider sustainability and Scope 3 reporting objectives.

Simple, Fast and Free

Getting started couldn’t be easier.

After creating an account, users simply select their venue, enter some basic event information and add details relating to room usage, travel, accommodation and catering, following guidance available from thestudio. The platform then generates a live carbon footprint report that updates as information is added or amended.

Most users can complete the process in around ten minutes, making it an accessible option even for busy event planners.

And because the tool is offered free of charge there is no reason not to start measuring today.

Turning Insights into Action

The real value of carbon measurement isn’t simply receiving a report; it’s what happens next.

By understanding where emissions are being generated, organisers can explore practical ways to reduce their impact. This might include encouraging public transport, selecting lower-carbon catering options, reducing material usage or reviewing accommodation choices.

Over time, organisations can compare results across multiple events, track progress and demonstrate measurable improvements in their sustainability performance. IMPACTportal also supports wider environmental reporting and helps businesses demonstrate their commitment to responsible event management.
