Bright Brussels 2022 : carbon footprint report

Aware that the events it organises have environmental, social and economic impacts, visit.brussels has carried out the carbon footprint of its next two annual events: the Bright festival and the European Association Summit (EAS).

With this approach, visit.brussels wishes to set an example and create an event model in which its stakeholders become aware of the environment in which they live and are encouraged to adopt more responsible behaviour in their daily lives.
