Leading global events company The Main Event International has chosen to offset all emissions from its London headquarters by partnering with one of the world’s leading and fastest growing providers in the voluntary carbon offset market, Carbon Neutral Investments.

With offices in London, Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and established over 20 years, The Main Event International specialises in corporate hospitality, international events, live communications and experiential marketing all over the world. The company works alongside some of the best-known global brands and blue-chip companies including BSkyB, Barclays Wealth, Ladbrokes, BMW, Deloittes, Clear Channel, and in some of the most exciting international events sectors such as Formula One, ATP Tennis, horse racing, golf, sailing, rugby, polo and football.

The Main Event International’s Andrea Hall said: “In our business the travel involved is very intensive across our events teams, so we are always trying to minimise our carbon footprint as a company. In supporting this very worthy project in Maharashtra, India we have gone a step further and neutralised all our emissions for the London headquarters.”

She added: “Our thanks to CNI and the marvellous projects they support around the world – they make it very straight-forward and cost effective to become carbon neutral. I hope that our deal with them will encourage others in the events business to follow suit.”

CNI co-Chairman, Thomas Knifton, said: “We are very proud to be working with The Main Event International on this project, and look forward to welcoming more companies from the travel intensive events business to the ranks of carbon neutral leadership in the industry. Becoming carbon neutral is a vital piece of the jigsaw for companies wanting to do business internationally, where a good environmental record is becoming as important as a good product offering.”

He added: “The Main Event International’s partnership with CNI demonstrates a very efficient and effective way to achieve this.”
