SES has developed a comprehensive range of calculators to enable you to credibly measure your impacts across your organisation and event. Upon completion you can generate a self-assessment report.
Self automated reporting is produced and detailed within the SEMS Sustainability performance Report and within a stand-alone metrics report.
Our calculators include:
- Office Energy
- Office Waste
- Event Energy
- Event Waste
- Event Water
- Event Travel and Transport
In addition to this to assist in capturing your travel data which is by far the most difficult we have produced a travel and transport worksheet which is downloadable within the appropriate question

GHG EMISSIONS FACTORS
The emissions factors used to calculate the greenhouse gas emissions for energy and travel are based on those published by the following. They are updated on a regular basis as new data is published.
- DEFRA UK
- Greenhouse Gas Protocol
- CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion (2010 Edition), IEA, Paris.
- U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
The purpose of the GHG emissions reporting is to provide a GHG emissions profile of the event. This information is intended to guide the future improvement of events, the industry and the long term reduction in emissions resulting from improved event planning and implementation. The final GHG emission calculation should not be referred to as a ‘carbon footprint’ The final calculation can be used as a basis for offsetting unavoidable GHG emissions from event travel and energy.
