The Climeet Index: more than just a score
The Climeet Index is an innovative and engaging feature designed to help you highlight, illustrate, compare, and improve the carbon footprint of your events.
What is the Climeet Index?
The Climeet Index assigns every finalized event a grade from A to G based on its carbon footprint per participant while rewarding eco-friendly actions through a bonus and penalty system. This score enables you to position your event relative to others while showcasing your sustainable initiatives.
A transparent and rigorous process
1. Based on a wide sample of events:
Derived from a dataset of over 260 finalized real-life events on Climeet, reviewed by our team.
2. Clear and comprehensible ratings:
Using advanced statistical transformations, each score is normalized on an intuitive scale from 0 to 100, then converted into a grade from A to G.
Promoting sustainable practices with a bonus/penalty system
The Climeet Index doesn’t just measure—it rewards and encourages responsibility!
Bonuses: highlighting your efforts
- Vegetarian or vegan meals (+10 points for >80% low-carbon meals).
- Reused materials (+10 points for >90% reuse).
Penalties: encouraging reduced negative impacts
- High-carbon meals (up to -10 points for 100% meat-based meals).
- Excessive single-use materials (up to -10 points for >90% disposable materials).
- Overly carbon-intensive events (up to -10 points for >1000 kgCO₂e per attendee).
Balanced weighting:
The system emphasizes efforts directly controllable by organizers, such as food and materials.
Why adopt the Climeet Index?
1. Dynamic and relative benchmarking:
Your score reflects your position relative to other Climeet events.
2. A tool for action and recognition:
- Showcase your efforts.
- Identify areas for improvement to act more effectively in the future.
The A (exemplary) to G (needs improvement) grading system simplifies communication and understanding of your event's footprint.
