As sustainability takes centre stage, meetings and events professionals are finding themselves in a unique position to make a meaningful impact. From reducing waste to lowering carbon emissions, every decision can contribute to a greener future. But sustainability often comes with complexity—until now.
Qondor’s new sustainability reporting tool is here to empower you, making it easier than ever to guide your clients towards greener choices while staying compliant with fast-evolving regulations. Let’s break down why this tool matters for you, your business, and most importantly, your clients.
What’s in it for your clients?
Your clients are under increasing scrutiny to make eco-friendly choices, and they’re looking to you for guidance. With Qondor’s sustainability reporting tool, you’ll have the power to deliver:
- Actionable insights at their fingertips: Imagine providing a venue comparison that highlights not just the cost but the environmental impact of each option. For example, you could show how Venue A uses renewable energy sources while Venue B has a smaller carbon footprint due to efficient waste management practices. This empowers your clients to make decisions that align with their sustainability goals.
- Transparent reporting that builds trust: Clients appreciate transparency. With our tool, you can offer clear, comprehensive sustainability reports that detail everything from attendee travel emissions to venue energy consumption. These reports don’t just tick the compliance box—they demonstrate your commitment to helping clients achieve their sustainability targets.
- A more sustainable event experience: From suggesting local, seasonal catering options to promoting digital materials over printed ones, the insights you provide can help clients create events that reduce waste and resonate with eco-conscious attendees.
Sustainability in action: Practical examples
The meetings and events industry is uniquely positioned to drive sustainability. Here are a few ways you can educate and inspire your clients:
- Carbon-conscious travel planning: Help your clients reduce attendee travel emissions by suggesting central venues or encouraging group transportation. Quantify the carbon savings and include this data in their proposals.
- Eco-friendly supplier choices: Highlight suppliers who prioritise sustainability, such as caterers who avoid single-use plastics or venues with energy-efficient lighting. Your clients will value the ability to see the impact of these choices clearly laid out in their sustainability reports.
- Minimising waste: Promote digital alternatives to printed materials, suggest reusable signage, and work with venues to donate leftover food to local charities. Track and report on these initiatives, showing clients how their events are making a difference.
- Energy-efficient venues: Help clients choose venues with green certifications, like LEED or BREEAM, and show how these venues contribute to lower energy consumption.
What makes Qondor’s tool different?
Here’s why our tool stands out:
- Seamless compliance: With regulations like the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), tracking and reporting are non-negotiable. Our tool helps your clients meet these requirements, avoiding the usual headaches.
- No duplicate data entry: By using the data already in Qondor, you can eliminate repetitive admin work. This means you can focus on delivering value to your clients through meaningful insights and recommendations.
- Revenue-generating opportunities: Sustainability reports can be packaged as an added service, enhancing your proposals and differentiating you from competitors. Clients are willing to pay for tools that make their lives easier while supporting their sustainability goals.
