Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport Takes Top Spot

Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport Takes Top Spot in Scopes Carbon’s Inter-Venue Sustainability Competition—Two Months Running!

Holiday InnAt Scopes Carbon, we’re passionate about celebrating real progress in sustainability—and Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport has truly set the bar high.

We’re thrilled to announce that this forward-thinking venue has clinched the top prize in our Inter-Venue Sustainability Competition for two consecutive months. Their secret? A strong commitment to carbon offsetting delegate travel—a powerful step that helps reduce the environmental impact of events hosted at their venue.

What does this achievement mean?

Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport has offset 247,500 miles of delegate travel. To put that into perspective, that’s:

  • Traveling around the Earth’s equator 10 times
  • Taking 45 return flights between London and New York
  • Driving over 280 return trips between London and Edinburgh

These figures represent a huge volume of carbon emissions balanced—highlighting the venue’s dedication to sustainable hospitality.

Why does this matter?

The hospitality and events industries are among the sectors facing increasing pressure to reduce their carbon footprints. Travel emissions—particularly from delegates attending meetings, conferences, and events—make up a significant part of that footprint.

By choosing to integrate carbon offsetting directly into their event offerings, Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport is making it easier than ever for event organisers to run greener, more responsible events without sacrificing convenience or quality.

This approach benefits everyone: clients can deliver on sustainability goals, delegates can feel confident about the environmental impact of their travel, and the venue itself can stand out as a true leader in responsible hospitality.

A win for everyone

Holiday Inn Birmingham Airport’s back-to-back victories in the Inter-Venue Sustainability Challenge are not only a testament to their hard work but also a clear signal to the wider industry: sustainability is achievable and impactful when it’s part of everyday business.

At Scopes Carbon, we’re proud to support venues like this that go beyond green promises to deliver measurable results.
