At Go Ask eve, we’re always keen to spotlight venues that go above and beyond, and BMA House is leading the way with its latest sustainability initiative. Situated in the heart of Bloomsbury, BMA House is a stunning Grade II listed building, combining historic elegance with modern facilities. The venue offers a range of versatile spaces, including stunning outdoor courtyards, refined boardrooms, and conference halls, making it an ideal choice for everything from corporate meetings to weddings.
However, it’s BMA House’s commitment to sustainability that truly sets it apart. Known for its green credentials and multiple awards in this area, the venue’s newest offering with Planet Mark—a complimentary carbon calculator that helps event organisers understand and reduce the estimated carbon emissions associated with their gatherings. This aligns with BMA House’s mission to reach net zero by 2030, empowering clients to take a more environmentally conscious approach to event planning.
What is the Carbon Calculator?
The Planet Mark carbon calculator is a straightforward tool designed to estimate the carbon footprint of events held at BMA House. Following each event, the BMA House team handles:
- Inputting data into the calculator.
- Providing a summary of the estimated emissions.
- Offering practical suggestions for reducing emissions in future events.
- Supporting clients with sustainable planning for their next event.
This service allows organisers to save time while gaining a clear understanding of their events’ environmental impact, making it easier to incorporate sustainability into their planning process.
The tool has already proven valuable to those who have used it, with some comments from Carys Pugh, Head of Event Logistics at Civil Society Media and Hannah Robinson, BMA House’s new venue manager:
“The report on our event’s carbon emissions was incredibly useful. BMA House is the only venue we work with that offers this service, demonstrating their serious commitment to sustainability.” – Carys Pugh
“Our work with Planet Mark enables our clients to make informed decisions. It was important to us that this tool is offered free of charge, so that there are no barriers to starting their sustainability journey.” – Hannah Robinson
