Unique cross sector event

greenloop’s unique cross-sector approach allows attendees to learn from and network with industry peers who can give actionable, practical advice, no matter what stage of the sustainability journey you are on.

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

Why suppliers need to get on board

At last year’s greenloop, we heard from attractions who are looking at their scope 3 emissions. Disney and PortAventura have already started to do this which means that they need suppliers to be able to report their own emissions. Suppliers who are measuring and have a reduction strategy will place themselves at a competitive advantage.

Don’t get left behind – join us at greenloop to find out how to measure your carbon footprint!
