Event resources
The HFMA aims to embed sustainability into everything it does and to be a responsible organisation. Our environmental focus for our flagship event is centred around four themes: transport, energy, waste reduction and suppliers.
In 2023, with the help of our members, delegates and partners, we made some really positive steps forward, including offsetting our event's carbon emissions - 25.5 Tonnes of CO2e. Read the full report here.
But we know there's always more that we can do, and we're working hard on improving our performance year on year.
- Use a carbon-tracking travel planner to help you make the most environmentally friendly trip: Personalised Travel by You. Smart. Thing. (yousmartthing.com)
- Travel by public transport and/or use active travel to and from the venue, including the ‘last mile’. If public transport isn’t an option, fill your car with colleagues to bring that per person footprint down!
- Purchase an online licence for the event (available from Spring 2024), giving up all of your finance staff access to five days of event content either live or demand. Carbon footprint minimised and inclusivity gained!
