Please describe your sustainable offering and how it relates to the Event Industry.
We work with event planners and event staff to assess the greenhouse gas emissions associated with any type of event. This is typically called the carbon footprint of the event, and usually involves elements like on-site energy use, travel to and from the event, trash generated, transportation related to food and supplies, and promotional materials.
After coming up with the overall carbon footprint, we can work with event planners to reduce these emissions by changing activities, finding green alternatives, and doing whatever is feasible. As a final step, we offer high-quality, certified carbon offsets from our project portfolio to balance remaining, unavoidable GHG emissions. This ultimately leaves the event with zero net impact on the climate, which is our green goal.
If you are a direct provider, helping execute events, what types of events do you serve?
All (I cater to ALL types of events. Nothing too big or too small!)
GREEN FLAG(S):
Event Planning, Exhibit Services & Products, Travel & Tour

Thank you for the information on your company-I was able to take a moment and check out your website (which is very nice by the way & easy to use!). I would be interested in learning more about carbon offsets specifically for events-this is a unique service that most other carbon offset companies do not have. Reason I am interested is that in addition to working for That's Caring, I also work within a catering company and this might be something of interest to many of our clients.
As for TerraPass I have been using them for about six months and so far it has been easy to work with them, however the thing I like about your company versus them is that varierty of projects and it seems like you guys might be a bit more hands on…this seem accurate?
Well wish a successful 2009 and look forward to hearing back from you!
Thanks for the heads up on the web site. Is your service something I would offer to clients? I am interested in services to offer clients that add value to their experience. I am not authorized to incur expenses to the resort.
Thanks! VG
Hi Stephen,
I know that we purchase wind credits, and have this information on our web site: Join Callaway Garden’s Commitment to the Greening of Our Planet. Learn more about how you can purchase Renewable Energy Credits and conserve our natural resources at: www.renewablechoice.com. The existence of our Earth and future generations depend on your commitment today.
Is this a competitor of yours or can I recommend both? Thx. VG
