Verónica Celis Vergara, CEO at Valumia, and Tim Pethick, founder and CEO at Nomad Exhibitions will join Rachel Read, co-founder of blooloop to speak at greenloop – sustainability in visitor attractions conference 2024.
In a session aimed at small businesses, we will discuss the particular challenges faced by those wanting to measure their carbon footprints without the resources to hire a consultant or invest in a fancy measurement platform.
Verónica Celis Vergara, CEO at ValumiaSustainability reporting is more than just being part of the ‘in’ crowd; it’s a strategic powerhouse for startups, SMEs, and NGOs.
By making sustainability reporting part of your modus operandi, not only are you supporting global sustainability goals, but you’re also solidifying your long-term success and street cred.
Sustainability reporting isn’t just cool; it’s smart, savvy, and the way forward.
This session will include plenty of time for questions. So if you are:
- struggling with how to measure something in particular
- worried about complying with legislation
- wondering about whether BCorp is worth it for you
- looking for quick wins in reducing your footprint
- weighing tree planting v gold standard offsets
- … or you just don’t know where to start
do join us on 30 April and we will try to help.
Bring a pen and paper (or digital equivalent). Expect to leave the session with lots of links and signposting to next steps!
