SHELTONConnecticut — Global insurance provider BPA Worldwide’s iCompli Sustainability division is the latest member of the new Maritz Global Events Wellbeing Network.
The BPA iCompli Sustainability Carbon Footprint Measurement Tool measures an event’s carbon footprint and then offers tips for improving it.
Here’s how it works: In Phase 1, “Discovery and Assessment,” participating organizers receive the information needed to complete the carbon footprint assessment. Phase 2 involves coordinating with the BPA iCompli Sustainability Team to ensure all organizer information is complete and the carbon footprint calculation is provided. Once the report is received, Maritz Global Events analyzes the results and provides recommendations to improve the carbon footprint. In Phase 3, Maritz Global Events will work with the organizer to ensure these recommendations are implemented.

“We are excited to be part of the Maritz Global Events Wellbeing Network,” said Glenn Hansen, President and CEO of BPA. “Our carbon footprint measurement tool will help organizers better understand the value of a green initiative on our environment and, at the same time, differentiate themselves from other players in the industry.”

The Maritz Wellbeing Network has just been presented at the IMEX America show in Las Vegas — a group of vendors that offer unique products and services that align with and support five “dimensions of well-being”: environmental well-being, personal well-being, professional well-being, financial well-being and social well-being. In addition to BPA’s iCompli Sustainability, new members include Soothe, Office Meet Yoga, Young Living and Heka Health.

“Our clients have exclusive access to these members because they are clients of Maritz Global Events,” said Rachael Riggs, CMP, DES, Wellness Manager at Maritz Global Events. “I created this network because, as part of our new wellness practice, I wanted to create a full-service design and implementation offering. I wanted to bring in the companies I know outside of the events industry to create this network and engage them to help create an exceptional event experience.”
“The goal of this network is to keep it small and exclusive. We currently have five members with a few more expected to be added soon. Additionally, as part of the selection process, we are looking for members who are innovative and willing to try new things with us and our customers to take the experience to the next level.”
