What is the carbon footprint of our stall at a trade exhibition?
For an exhibitor, the big items are usually team travel and hotel nights, then building the stall and shipping samples. Stall electricity is often small. Reusing a modular stall instead of a one-time build is the easiest cut.
What to add
- Flights, trains and hotel nights for staff.
- Stall build: plywood, vinyl prints, carpets.
- Freight for samples and stall material.
- Power drawn at the stall, if the organiser reports it.
Which scope
Travel is Category 6 and stall materials are Category 1. The organiser's venue energy is theirs to report.
What Senseible does here
Senseible reads bills, fuel invoices and production records into dated, fingerprinted records, so the figure you send a buyer can be traced to its documents.
