The agenda for greenloop 2023 has been released. Now in its third year, greenloop is a unique cross-sector event that brings together leading sustainability professionals from the world’s major museums, theme parks, zoos and other visitor attractions.
The speakers will share strategic insights and lessons learned to inspire us all to become more sustainable in our businesses and help protect the planet.
Agenda
greenloop is taking place online from 25-26th April 2023. The schedule caters to every sustainable interest, from carbon guides to green energy. We have inspirational speakers, practical guidance, hot topics, case studies and smart networking.
Check out some of our topics and speakers:
- Want to get started but don’t know how? – Hear from two WAZA board members as they discuss the WAZA Carbon Guide (a free resource for any organisation to use) and how to measure and reduce your carbon as well how trade associations can provide guidance for members. We also have case studies from operators with real world experience of reducing GHG emissions.
- Why sustainability matters – ADV will present the 2023 Sustainability Tracker report which looks at attraction visitors’s attitudes to sustainability and how this influences their purchasing decisions. We also have Merlin Entertainments discussing the economics of sustainability.
- Suppliers – Disney is now measuring Scope 3 emissions and has said that by 2027 80% of suppliers will need to have Science Based Targets! And they are not alone. Find out what this means for you direct from Walt Disney Imagineering, and learn about policy trends from PlanetMark. Find out how to get started measuring and setting targets with WAZA.

Why should you attend greenloop?
With all visitor attractions needing to decarbonise and become more sustainable, greenloop will provide practical, actionable advice and case studies for our attendees, with take-aways that they can put into practice, as well as inspirational insights from industry leaders.
When it comes to solving really big challenges, like how do we build sustainable theme parks, resorts and cruise ships around the world, it takes all of us and all of these different industries coming together. And that’s what’s great about greenloop … our collaboration is key to really think about how we build sustainable themed entertainment experiences.
Emily Dow, Design Studio Executive with Walt Disney Imagineering at greenloop 2021
greenloop aims to connect sustainability leaders from across the attractions industry to enable us to move more quickly towards a more sustainable future.
greenloop is a must-attend event, crossing boundaries to bring together really thought-provoking insights and ideas around the way visitor attractions can not only minimise their environmental impact on the planet, but also act as catalysts for positive change. I cannot think of another event which goes near greenloop as a concentrated dollop of practical green inspiration – a must-attend for several of our team.
Dominic Hare, CEO Blenheim
