Small meetings were the biggest gap in event carbon measurement. Until now…
From Smart Beginnings to Smarter Impact
EVENTsmart: Our First Step in Measuring Event Impact
Four years ago, we launched EVENTsmart in partnership with Smart Carbon. Designed for agents, it gave them the ability to measure the environmental impact of their large-scale events.

When Hotels and Venues Asked, We Listened
Hotels and venues wanted access too, but EVENTsmart wasn’t quite the right fit. So, we evolved.
By relaunching to our hotels and venues we gave them their own tailored tool to measure and reduce the environmental footprint of the events they host.
Big Events Were Only Part of the Story
While industry carbon measurement generally focuses on large-scale conferences of 1,500+ delegates, our clients highlighted a gap: what about the thousands of smaller meetings happening every day? A boardroom for 25 still leaves an impact.
Introducing the Impact Portal by EVENTsmart
Created to capture the footprint of both big and small meetings, the Impact Portal empowers organisations to measure, understand, and act on the true impact of all their events — no matter the size.
And it’s free for exisiting EVENTsmart users.
Make Every Meeting Count with the Impact Portal by EVENTsmart
Not all meetings are created equal, but they all have an impact. Until now, most small and medium-sized business meetings have gone unmeasured, leaving a major gap in sustainability reporting.
That’s why Greengage created the Impact Portal by EVENTsmart. Designed for all event organisers, the portal makes it easy to track and measure the carbon footprint of smaller meetings, the ones that make up 80% of all business events.
By turning hidden data into clear insights, the Impact Portal helps you:
– Understand your true environmental impact
– Work towards your scope 3 carbon reduction goals
– Show clients and stakeholders your sustainability commitment
With the Impact Portal by EVENTsmart, every meeting becomes an opportunity to take action, and make a real difference.
How it Works
For Hotels and Venues
Flexible carbon reporting, made simple
Impact Portal gives you two smart ways to measure and report event carbon emissions:
- Direct reporting tools – a full suite of easy-to-use tools for venue teams to calculate and report the footprint of meetings and events with speed and accuracy.
- Client QR codes – an innovative system that lets clients self-report via QR code, with instant carbon calculations automatically shared with both you and your client.
From a boardroom of 8 to a conference of 200, every event can now be measured, tracked, and reported with confidence.
With Impact Portal, you can also:
- Highlight your sustainability credentials.
- Help clients meet their own commitments.
- Stand out as a venue that takes responsibility seriously.
