At NetNada, we collaborate with organisations across industries to help them achieve their sustainability goals through comprehensive carbon accounting and actionable insights. Our partnership with The Sustainable Occasion, an award-winning event management agency focused on reducing the environmental impact of events, exemplifies this commitment. Together, we have advanced their sustainability initiatives, reinforcing their dedication to eco-friendly event solutions.
The Challenge
The Sustainable Occasion, based in Sydney and operating globally, specialises in creating events that are better for clients, the community, and the planet. With a mission to integrate sustainability into every aspect of event management, they sought to comprehensively measure and manage their carbon footprint across all operational activities, including production, transportation, facility usage, and more. Achieving carbon neutrality was a key objective, necessitating a thorough inventory of emissions and effective strategies for mitigation.
NetNada's Strategic Approach
To support The Sustainable Occasion in reaching their sustainability targets, NetNada implemented a structured approach encompassing detailed emissions analysis, carbon offsetting, and biodiversity conservation.
- Comprehensive Emissions Inventory: NetNada conducted an extensive inventory analysis, incorporating all relevant emissions data:some text
- Scope 1 (Direct Emissions): Emissions from owned or controlled sources.
- Scope 2 (Indirect Emissions): Emissions from purchased electricity.
- Scope 3 (Other Indirect Emissions): Emissions from activities not directly controlled by the company but related to its operations, such as production, transportation, and facility usage.
This thorough assessment provided a clear understanding of The Sustainable Occasion's carbon footprint, enabling targeted strategies for reduction.
- Achieving Carbon Neutrality: The Sustainable Occasion compensated for the rest of the emissions that could no longer be reduced through offsets, achieving Carbon Neutral Status in accordance with the NetNada Carbon Neutral Business standard. This accomplishment underscores their commitment to mitigating climate impact.
- Biodiversity Conservation: Demonstrating a holistic approach to environmental responsibility, The Sustainable Occasion protected areas of critical habitat for biodiversity by purchasing and retiring biological diversity units supplied by Wilderland. This initiative contributes to the preservation of vital ecosystems.
