Complimentary access to TRACE by isla
From business investors to event attendees, stakeholders are increasingly demanding greater transparency and accountability on the environmental impacts of activities, with mandatory reporting on emissions expected within the next two years. With this in mind, we’re thrilled to be able to offer all course students exclusive complimentary 6-month access to measure one event with TRACE by isla, the definitive carbon measurement platform for events, so that you can start your carbon measurement journey.
Brought to you by isla, the event industry’s response to the climate crisis, TRACE helps you measure and minimise carbon in real-time at live, hybrid and digital events.
Designed by event professionals for event professionals, TRACE offers clear visualisations of emissions, from catering to materials used, and provides insights to reduce an event's carbon footprint before it starts.
