The Conference CO2 travel calculator from Tourism Ireland is an application for the iPhone that allows you to calculate the carbon costs of flying to and from your next international meeting or conference. It will help you work out which locations for your event might be less harmful to the environment than others, depending on where your delegates are travelling from.

The Conference CO2 travel calculator is intended for any business or individual involved in planning an international meeting, conference or event. It is also useful for individuals who are concerned with their carbon footprint and want to keep check on their individual impact. There is a growing international requirement by businesses for a more sustainable supply chain under their Corporate Social Responsibility Programmes (CSR). But going “green” shouldn’t be seen as just a compliance issue: there are sound economic and marketing reasons to reduce the environmental impact of our business activities. The Conference CO2 travel calculator provides one way to start looking at how to make your business more sustainable.
