EAME CONFERENCE: CHANTILLY


Counting carbon


The long-awaited EAME conference is taking place in France in May. Organizers are keen to deliver a carbon-neutral event that will be a template for future FCSI gatherings across the community


FCSI


was at the forefront of innovation in the quest for carbon


neutrality more than a decade ago, and for this event we want to take a further step forward by producing a comprehensive report into the carbon footprint of the FCSI EAME Conference in Paris in May 2022. Building on the legacy of Clara


Ming Pi FFCSI and her pioneering work ahead of the 2008 FCSI Conference in Beijing, China, and beyond, we plan to deliver not only a carbon neutral event, but also one that will act as a standard for future gatherings across the FCSI community.


As part of the project, led by FCSI EAME’s Allied representative Mick

Jary of Meiko, we’ll need your help. We will be asking each delegate and sponsor about their travel and accommodation plans for the conference. The more information we can capture, the greater accuracy we can provide in the final report.


Positive actions We’ll also be working closely with the Hyatt Regency Chantilly to ensure we are tracking and accounting for all of the outputs associated with running an event of the scope and size of the EAME conference and making optimizations where possible. Hyatt has an established commitment to monitoring their output. Mick Jary, specification director


with Meiko UK and allied member representative of the FCSI Worldwide board, says sponsoring the conference with a focus on reducing the carbon footprint is a logical move for Meiko. “The carbon footprint is the center of all our activities, hence sponsoring was our responsibility to create more awareness in our industry,” he says. “This topic is leading to more awareness and the right activities to minimize our industry’s carbon footprint. Sponsoring was the logical consequence. Our industry has such a big leverage on carbon footprint. Our sponsoring will lead to awareness, awareness to actions and actions to positive change.”
