What if your event platform didn’t just help you sell tickets—
What if it helped reforest the planet?
Sounds wild, right?
But let’s zoom out. Because there’s something no one talks about in event tech:
👉 The environmental cost of throwing a business event is brutal.
👉 And most of it? Isn’t the flights. It’s the fluff.
🧨 The Sneaky Environmental Footprint of Events
Let’s say you’re running a 1-day, 500-person conference.
Here’s what you think is causing the most damage:
✈️ Travel?
🏨 The hotel?
Nope. It’s the mountain of crap no one uses.
Here’s the real culprit list:
- 📄 500 printed delegate packs
- 🎁 Lanyards and leftover merch
- 🖨️ A5 brochures no one reads
- 📱 A bloated event app 40% won’t download
Together, it adds up fast:
🧮 2.4 tonnes of CO₂ for a 100-person event.
That’s the same as 24 round-trip flights from London to NYC… before anyone even boards a plane.
🌿 So We Did Something Radical
We made sustainability non-negotiable.
Presso now pledges 10% of our revenue — not profits, not token carbon credits — to climate action.
That means every ticket you sell with Presso helps:
- 🪴 Plant forests
- 🌊 Restore ecosystems
- ⚡ Fund clean energy
- 🧪 Back next-gen carbon removal
No opt-ins. No "premium green" tier. No email signups.
Just real impact. Built-in.
🤝 Why? Because Organisers Shouldn’t Have to Be Climate Scientists
You’re already juggling a thousand things.
The venue.
The sponsors.
The check-in list.
The last-minute speaker drama.
You shouldn’t need to become a sustainability expert too.
So we do it for you.
Every Presso-powered event contributes — automatically.
It’s like carbon karma… without the paperwork.
💸 "But What’s the Catch? Who Pays for It?"
We do. From our revenue. Not yours.
Our flat 1% ticketing fee already beats most platforms by 4–9%.
And now we’re committing a full 10% of what we make to climate causes through:
We even joined the Million Tree Pledge to help plant 1 million trees by 2030.
Because honestly? We want to be able to tell our kids that we didn’t just build another app.
We built a platform that gave back.
📱 “Okay but... what does the app actually do?”
Great question.
Presso’s not just greener — it’s better.
It’s a Progressive Event App (PEA©) — a fully browser-based, no-download, super-slick experience that gives your attendees everything they need from one link.
✅ Ticketing
✅ Check-in
✅ Schedule
✅ Networking
✅ Polls & messaging
✅ No app stores. No downloads. No paper.
And it works on any phone, instantly. Just scan the QR and go.
Want SEO-friendly public pages? Done.
Prefer to keep it private? Also done.
🧠 Events Should Be Efficient, Not Wasteful
We don’t believe “tech” means complexity.
We believe your tools should be:
- Smart
- Fast
- Lightweight
- Beautiful
- And yes—climate-positive
Because your event shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense.
🌱 The Takeaway: If Your App Isn’t Giving Back, It’s Taking Too Much
You don’t need to add a “sustainability angle” to your event.
You just need to use better tools.
We built Presso so that:
- Every organiser gets a smarter, frictionless platform
- Every attendee has a better experience
- And every event leaves the world a little better than it found it
It’s not a feature.
It’s the foundation.
