Blooloop is committed to taking action to combat the climate crisis. We feel we are in a unique position to be a valuable platform to highlight sustainability issues, strategies and innovations across the visitor attractions industry worldwide.
blooloop’s carbon footprint
Our Scope 1 & 2 emissions represent only a small part of our carbon footprint. Our goal is to ensure that blooloop’s total emissions, including those from our website and online events, are as close to zero as possible. We want our clients and attendees to be reassured that when they work with us the environmental impact is as light as possible.
We have been a part of the UNFCCC’s Climate Neutral Now initiative since 2022. However, the Secretary General’s High-Level Expert Group on the Net-Zero Emissions Commitments of Non-State Entities recently made 10 recommendations in their report titled: “Integrity Matters: Net Zero commitments by Businesses, Financial Institutions, Cities and Regions”.
Unfortunately, Climate Neutral Now does not align with these recommendations, and so the UNFCCC are phasing-down the CNNow initiative.
We are now working independently to estimate our carbon footprint. This has included the measuring the footprint of the blooloop website, our events, company travel, online communications, and home-working energy usage. From here, we are creating a reduction strategy and setting Science Based Targets to reach net zero.
We offset our emissions with gold standard carbon credits.

UN Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, the United Nations Member States adopted a 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. At the centre of this agenda are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which provide an urgent action plan for peace and prosperity worldwide. Although we intend to add to these over time, Blooloop has initially chosen 2 SDGs that we feel we can work towards.
Climate Action
Blooloop is committed to “taking urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts“. Within this goal we have decided to focus on target 13.3, which centres on improving both human and institutional awareness and capacity on mitigating climate change.
Each year we host greenloop, an online conference focusing on sustainability in visitor attractions. greenloop brings together leading sustainability professionals from the world’s major museums, theme parks, zoos and other visitor attractions, where they share the latest trends and developments, highlighting best practices and inspiring us all to become more sustainable in our businesses and help protect the planet.
Please contact Ruth to find out more.
Partnerships
SDG 17 is a wider goal, and in particular a key driver for greenloop. Shining a spotlight on positive sustainability action is something that we feel Blooloop is uniquely able to do, with our wide readership across industry sectors worldwide.
- We are actively looking to create more content around sustainability and highlight positive action taken by operators and suppliers in the industry.
- We hope by bringing together like-minded individuals and companies at greenloop so we can work to share knowledge and connect.
- We have also created a greenloop LinkedIn group to facilitate communication across the sector.
- Blooloop clients who are taking climate action are highlighted with a green leaf in our directory.
- Blooloop 50 Influencers recognises trailblazers who are leading the way with sustainable strategies.
- The Blooloop Innovation Awards include a *free to enter* sustainability category to showcase ground breaking new products and services.
Supporting climate charities
In 2023 blooloop became silver sponsors of Project Seagrass, donating £1000 from greenloop proceeds.
We measure the carbon footprint of our events with the help of our friends at circular unity and offset all our emissions with gold standard carbon credits.
