Where Event Footprint
Tracking Breaks

table_chart

Scattered footprint data

Emissions, energy, water, materials, catering, waste, and social data live across spreadsheets, surveys, ticketing systems, venue portals, and supplier PDFs — slowing every event footprint cycle.

warning

Numbers that won't pass assurance

Inconsistent methodologies, missing Scope 3 travel and freight numbers, and gaps across environmental and social metrics make event footprint results hard to defend.

link_off

Reporting is more than a PDF

ESG disclosures need structured, traceable data — not static PDFs — so you can evidence carbon, water, materials, waste, and community impact from source to report.

trending_down

Operations and ESG don't sync

Event ops, vendors, and ESG teams work in different tools, leaving footprint data, supplier evidence, and disclosure workflows fragmented and slow.

Most tools track pieces; few connect decisions, reductions, and proof across the full event footprint. This is the gap this platform is designed to close.

These Gaps

Core capabilities of an event footprint and event carbon tracking platform for teams preparing for disclosure — informed by climate-tech work with organizations facing ESG requirements.

Workspace

End-to-End Event Footprint Workspace

Centralize carbon, water, waste, materials, logistics, and attendee data across the full event lifecycle.

  • Map planning, procurement, delivery, and post-event phases in one workspace.
  • Connect registration, venue, travel, catering, and waste data sources.
  • Track data completeness before calculating footprint metrics.

How can we reduce the footprint of our 1,200-person summit in Boston?

3 Recommendations:

  1. Switch to plant-forward menu (-15% CO2e)
  2. Use local AV provider to minimize logistics (-5%)
  3. Incentivize train travel for NY/DC attendees

How Organizations Use It

Flexible enough to adapt to your event portfolio, and structured to consolidate footprint data for the disclosure requirements your teams are preparing for.

Built by Climate-Tech Product Builders

OrangeLoops designs and builds digital platforms for climate, sustainability, and impact-focused teams. The event footprint platform draws on our experience with software, data integrations, and workflows that connect operational data to disclosure-aligned outputs.

Carbon & Sustainability Software

We’ve worked on emissions accounting and sustainability platforms for climate-tech organizations, including data models, factor libraries, and traceability systems for environmental performance.

Hardware + Software + IoT

We’ve developed connected solutions that combine software with sensors and devices — from mobile apps used in solar ventilation systems to industrial platforms for wearable robotics and smart devices.

Embedded in Boston's Innovation Ecosystem

Headquartered at 50 Milk Street, we’re part of Boston’s climate and innovation ecosystem — collaborating with New England climate-tech companies, Greentown Labs, and MassCEC initiatives, and working in a context shaped by LEED venues, BERDO, and BEUDO.

Questions, Answered

Key details for ESG leaders, finance, and event teams evaluating this event footprint and carbon tracking platform for disclosure and operations.

How is this different from calculators?

Calculators produce numbers. This event footprint and carbon tracking platform is being designed to consolidate carbon, energy, water, materials, waste, logistics, and social data so teams can work with structured, disclosure-aligned information instead of isolated estimates.

What kinds of integrations are supported?

Planned integrations include ticketing and registration systems, procurement and logistics data, venue and utility information, and standards-first sources such as DEFRA, IPCC, and EPA emission factors, plus supporting unit and currency conversions.

How are emissions factors handled?

The platform is being designed around a modular emissions-factor library with update mechanisms and adaptable calculation logic, providing transparency and traceability as factor sets evolve across carbon, water, waste, and materials.

Does this support California SB 253 and climate disclosure rules?

The platform is being developed with SB 253, CSRD, TCFD, and CDP principles in mind — especially transparency, scope coverage, and structured outputs that can feed into broader ESG reporting processes.

Can this support BERDO, BEUDO, and Massachusetts requirements?

For Boston and Massachusetts-based organizations, the goal is to make it easier to map event footprint data into BERDO/BEUDO frameworks and related state emissions reporting programs, alongside other ESG disclosures.
