FAQs

  • What is a carbon footprint study for events and services?

    A carbon footprint study measures the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with an event, service, or organization. At Mossgreen, we use internationally recognized standards to calculate emissions from transportation, energy, food, waste, and other activities, providing a clear picture of the overall environmental impact.

  • Why should cultural, corporate, sporting, and tourism events measure their environmental impact?

    Events involve thousands of people, materials, and resources. Measuring their environmental impact helps organizers identify critical areas, improve efficiency, reduce costs, and communicate their sustainability efforts in a credible and transparent way.

  • What is Life Cycle Thinking and why is it important?

    Life Cycle Thinking considers all stages of an event or service, from planning and setup to operation and dismantling. It enables a comprehensive understanding of the full environmental footprint and helps identify smarter, more sustainable choices. This is a flexible approach that goes beyond simply accounting for carbon emissions.

  • How can Mossgreen help my organization reduce its footprint?

    We provide customized environmental footprint studies, Life Cycle Thinking approaches, and decarbonization strategies. Our results are practical, scientifically grounded, and easy to communicate to audiences, sponsors, and institutions.

  • Can the results be used for communication and sustainability claims?

    Yes. Our studies follow international standards and best practices, making them suitable for credible communication, sustainability claims, and ESG reporting. This helps organizations demonstrate transparency and avoid greenwashing practices.

  • What types of organizations are your partners?

    We work with cultural institutions, music festivals, sports clubs, municipalities, tourism bodies, and service providers. Our methodology is adaptable to both small local events and large international gatherings.

  • How long does an environmental footprint study take?

    The timeline depends on the size of the event and the availability of data. A standard study may take between 4 and 6 weeks, while larger or more complex projects may require additional time.

  • What are the main benefits of Life Cycle Thinking for events?

    Life Cycle Thinking provides a holistic view of impacts, not only from energy and waste, but also from visitor behavior, transport choices, catering services, and cultural aspects. It helps transform sustainability from an obligation into a strategy for innovation and leadership.
