Conference organisers hosting events in Liverpool will be able to compensate for their carbon impact by donating to a range of green projects across the city.
Foundation, a climate fund for the North West, has joined forces with the Liverpool Convention Bureau (LCB) to offer organisers a chance to contribute towards local carbon-reduction projects.
“We hope this new scheme will give people the chance to compensate for the environmental impact of their events,” says Foundation chief officer, Mark Turner. “Organisers using the bureau will be asked to contribute £100 for a meeting with up to 100 delegates, ranging through to £1,000 for a big event with more than 800 guests.
“All the money will then be used to fund community projects in the region, such as fitting solar panels and energy efficient boilers in local halls and schools and creating new woodlands.”
“This collaboration is something that we feel event organisers will appreciate. While carbon offsetting is not a new concept, carbon compensating is a fresh way of responding and is evolving into a way to encourage low carbon behaviours,” adds LCB manager, Carol O’Reilly.
