Green Globe Index

Are you looking to benchmark your business amongst peers for your sustainable activity?

Eventia is delighted to partner with the Green Globe and The Carbon Consultancy to launch The Green Globe Index (GGI), a global solution to travel & tourism indexing and disclosure, to our members.

The index is based upon company submissions, using an on-line questionnaire and data entry process to deliver a ranking and peer-group comparison, by business type both nationally and globally.

Users who achieve a minimum level of attainment are placed on a public index for consumer and corporate buyers to identify sustainable suppliers.

Suitable for all member types the GGI provides us with a common platform to measure, index and demonstrate sustainability. It is designed to support and catalyse a more sustainable industry, by providing a simple and low cost process for all users irrespective of their size and current levels of engagement.

The index will not show your ranking, this will remain a report for your business to access and help focus your activities to become more sustainable in your operations and consequently generate a higher ranking. You can share your ranking if you choose with others as you feel appropriate.

Key advantages?

• Allows you to demonstrate your sustainability credentials to customers and potentially increase sales
• Ability to increase your index ranking and save money through reduced waste
• The index is global and not just country specific
• Users can evaluate their own performance without having to share it publicly.

Engagement benefits

• Companies who are new to sustainability can identify areas for action and focus, using the index report
• Index results will identify future improvements required to increase sustainability
• Data collection requires staff engagement and support, catalysing and educating staff in the process
• The index can be used to assess and improve supply chain sustainability.

Commercial benefits

• Index users can demonstrate their achievements to prospective and existing clients, supporting increased sustainability focused procurement
• The index will provide a sustainable supply resource, encouraging sustainability-based purchasing
• Increased rankings in the index will be reflected in reduced waste and resource use, saving costs
• The index will support risk management in an increased regulatory environment.
  

Summary

Eventia are pleased to support the Green Globe Index, which is the first, robust benchmarking tool for not just our own market, but globally. A sustainable event industry will only be achieved by encouraging sustainable practices and supporting purchasing based upon sustainable performance.

Rewarding and encouraging sustainability requires a common, independent platform that does not discriminate on the basis of cost and delivers valuable intelligence that can drive education and support programmes. This is the Green Globe Index. www.greenglobeindex.com
