Event Measurement Tool

Ever since I wrote the specifications, a few years ago, for a tool that would measure the environmental, economic, and social impact of an event, there have been several tools that have landed in the market. A couple of these have been around for a while, including the MeetGreen tool and the EventSustainability Tool. Another is from Credit360, which isn't specifically for events but could be modified.

There are even some proprietary tools in the industry, such as Hilton's HER (Hilton Environmental Reporting) which focuses on environmental impact.

In May, a new tool sprang up specifically for events and purporting to measure the triple bottom line of people, planet and prosperity (environment, economic and community impact). You can see if at http://www.eventimpacts.com/. It has been tested in the UK market on several events.

Anyone familiar with more? Has anyone used these ones?
