Measuring Green

What's the takeaway from a green meeting? There are many viewpoints to consider, from stakeholders to attendees — each with a different measuring stick. Who decides what success looks like — and how do they make that decision? We offer some helpful tools for assessment.

Return on investment (ROI). The economics of your green meeting will no doubt be carefully examined. But more than just cost savings, what will your investment net in terms of the experiences of those attending? What valuable attention will your green meeting garner for your organization?

Corporate responsibility. We live in a time of economic uncertainty and continued environmental crisis. One of the most visible ways today’s corporate leaders can impact both is through responsible environmental practices — including a commitment to sustainable meetings.
