The main initiatives

During the organization of the ChangeNOW Summit editions in 2022, 2023 and 2024, several impactful actions were undertaken in collaboration with ClimateSeed to promote sustainability and reduce the event's carbon footprint.

 

Social Influence

With careful selection of exhibitors and speakers, consideration of stakeholders, and promotion of cultural and gender diversity.

Inclusivity

With an event focused on solidarity, with free solidarity passes for people in need and youth programs for 300 students in priority education zones.

Reduce waste at source

With eco-designed scenography & stands, and no single-use plastic.

Low-carbon food

With an eco-responsibility charter for on-site restaurateurs (local food, 75% vegetarian meals, etc.).

Circularity

Work with a recycling company to sort through 97.3% of reusable materials and sort through 5 cycles of garbage cans (including compost).

Transport

By choosing a central location in Paris, providing temporary parking for bicycles, encouraging car-sharing and favoring rail over the air in partnership with European rail companies.

Low carbon strategy

By having the carbon footprint audited by ClimateSeed and implementing actions to reduce the impact of the summit year on year.

Labelling

By committing to the EEE eco-event label certification, created by the REEVE eco-event's network, ChangeNOW is the first BtoB event to reach level 2.

Carbon Footprint Report Result 

In 2022 and 2023, ClimateSeed was ChangeNow's decarbonization partner. 
As part of this collaboration, we present to you the results of the GHG assessment for this edition.


ChangeNOW's Carbon Footprint Measurement

ChangeNOW partnered with ClimateSeed to conduct a comprehensive GHG assessment during their annual summit, for the second year running, which took place from May 25th to May 27th, 2023. The assessment revealed that the total GHG emissions for this event amounted to 1,145 tCO2e.

Carbon accounting categorizes GHG emissions from human activities within defined boundaries, considering time, organization, and function. The GHG Protocol and BEGES are widely used for this, mainly for organizational emissions but also for event-related GHG assessments.

ClimateSeed has built its framework in this guide using these methodologies as a foundation, aligning with their principles for scope, calculations, and categorizations while addressing event-specific data and result presentation requirements.

Our Methodology

Carbon accounting categorizes GHG emissions resulting from human activities according to defined boundaries, taking into account time, organization, and function.

The GHG Protocol and the BEGES are widely used for this purpose, primarily for emissions related to organizations, but also for GHG assessments related to events.

ClimateSeed has built its framework using these methodologies as a reference. By adhering to their principles regarding scope, calculations, and categorizations, while considering event-specific data and reporting requirements.
