Total emissions of 136.8 tons of CO2 have been calculated to be generated during the running of the event which includes venue usage , materials and exhibitor and staff transport and accommodation . To offset this , the M & E Week team , in association with their Sustainability Partner , have organised the planting of 5472 trees in a dedicated M & E forest to make the event Net Zero .
