GreenTix is Eco-Conscious

The concept of events and actions becoming "carbon neutral" is a relatively new one. There are a variety of standards and practices that currently exist. To contribute, GreenTix is approaching the issue in 3 areas.

Carbon Credit Options for the Ticket Buyer

GreenTix currently obtains carbon credits from two highly accredited sources; Origin's Carbon Reduction Scheme™ and The Greening Australia Breathe Easy program. A large source of the carbon footprint at an event is made up of the event patron's transportation and experience at the event. GreenTix provides the voluntary option to the ticket buyer of purchasing carbon credits to offset their personal impact on the environment as a result of attending the event. This helps to make the event carbon neutral. When you purchase $2.00 worth of carbon credits from us, you are contributing to our environmental initiatives.

Carbon Credit Options for the Event Organiser

In addition to the ticket buyer's carbon credits, GreenTix helps event organisers calculate their total carbon usage so they can offset their share of the impact on the environment. This helps create a carbon neutral event. We work closely with consultants to help organisers analyse the factors that affect their carbon credits required.

Sustainable Practices

The first steps in improving the environment is reducing the amount of energy used and secondly, maintaining sustainable practices. By aligning with organisations that share similar goals, the total amount of overall carbon to offset is reduced. GreenTix is dedicated to constantly improving in these two areas - lowering energy usage and improving the way we manage energy in our business practices. Our current sustainable practices include:
