Origin Meetings and Site Selection has launched an updated service for clients looking to reduce their carbon footprint when running events and conferences. The team strives to go above and beyond when it comes to environmental awareness of the meetings they’re involved with.

Origin Meetings is a meeting planning company that specializes in hotel site selection, RFP management and contract negotiation. It provides meeting and conference services for groups ranging from 10 to 1,000 attendees, and has a special focus on reducing carbon emissions and taking care of the environment.
The newly updated service helps more businesses reduce their impact on the environment in a number of ways. Origin Meetings is constantly making suggestions to clients such as replacing single use plastic bottles with infused water and soda stations, where the attendees use a reusable branded travel mug given to them at check-in.
Corporate events have a huge impact on the environment every day, and at the moment not much is being done by businesses and commercial enterprises. However, change is happening, and Origin Meetings is at the forefront leading the charge.
Austin Horn, the President of Origin Meetings, believes that making sure big companies are educated in reducing greenhouse gas emissions is key.
He states: “Because we are on the newer side as a company, we don’t have to fix outdated red tape or procedures so we’re placing ourselves ahead of the curve. In 5 years or so, our hope is that it will be frowned upon not to hold a green certified meeting.”
He adds: “We help our clients do things like make sure the material and paper products they bring in, and require while they’re on site, have been printed from recycled paper, to then be recycled again when they leave. We can also make sure all the unused, safe food leftovers -and there is a lot – goes to homeless organizations or food pantries. It doesn’t cost anything to make these changes, so why not!”
Origin Meetings and Site Selection is regularly thanked by clients for informing them on how to reduce their carbon footprint. People feel good inherently when they can help others.
