AWE Takes Environmental Leadership Role, All Shows Are Now 100% Carbon Neutral
NEW YORK, April 12, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- AWE, the world's first and largest community of AR and VR professionals as well as the world's largest XR-specific trade show with 300+ exhibitors showcasing the full breadth of the XR ecosystem, today announced that all future worldwide shows (including the upcoming AWE USA event at the end of May) will be carbon-neutral.
- The event's entire carbon footprint, including more than 5 million miles of attendee air-travel, will be offset through verified carbon reduction projects from corporate sustainability leader Terrapass.
- This has resulted in projects that have reduced greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere equivalent to billions of tons of carbon dioxide.
- "Terrapass has confirmed that AWE has neutralized the estimated carbon emissions from the AWE USA 2023 event by funding 1,238 mT of carbon offsets from verified carbon reduction projects.
- AWE has followed the Terrapass model to 'calculate, reduce, and offset' the event's worldwide carbon footprint - both at the events and in its business operations.
