The International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA) has formalised a two-year agreement with EarthCheck, appointing the organisation as its official sustainability partner. The partnership supports ICCA’s ongoing efforts to reduce environmental impact, promote best practices, and strengthen sustainability capabilities across its international network.

Measuring Carbon Impact and Advancing Net Zero Events

As part of the partnership launch, EarthCheck applied its EventCalculator tool to assess the carbon footprint of the 2025 ICCA Congress in Porto. The resulting data will contribute to ICCA’s long-term sustainability roadmap and help establish evidence-based targets aligned with the Net Zero Carbon Events initiative. Beyond measurement, the collaboration includes joint work on sustainability strategies, training, events, and communications, as well as access for ICCA members to EarthCheck’s tools, guidance, and certification support to enhance sustainability reporting and performance.
