<p><strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Guidelines for Event Attendees</span></strong></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Much of the carbon footprint from physical events is driven by the attendees, how they travel to the event, how long they are staying in the area and the behaviour they follow whilst at the event.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">In order to reduce the impact that attendees have several actions can be taken in order to provide information on behaviour before and during the event as well as taking steps to give options and advise on how they can reduce their environmental impact.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Zerofy provide best practice guidelines of how to reduce attendee impact that should be shared before the event and highlighted during the event. It is also to offer green alternatives where possible for areas such as travel, hotel stays and eating and drinking. A best practice guideline is provided that can be adapted to specific locations based on the best practice framework shown.</span></p>
<p><strong><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">Other Actions</span></strong></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">To get a more precise view of the carbon footprint derived from attendees and behaviour at the events additional data is needed to be collected on areas such as how they travel, where and how long they stay and what they do at the Event.</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">This will give valuable insights into the &ldquo;real&rdquo; carbon footprint of the event and also how actions taken help to reduce this and change behaviour over time. As such we recommend creating surveys and voting mechanisms that can be used to engage, educate and document attendees that can be developed with the support of Zerofy.</span></p>
