PIEoneer Awards WINNER
Thanks for Joining the #TravelwithCANIE movement
With the EAIE 2024 conference over, we’ve reflected on our time at the conference this year.
We were excited to see the prominence of the Sustainability Corner, with a prime spot in the expo hall along with multiple initiatives, presentations and activity taking place.
After increasing our initial Travel with CANIE target from 20 to 40 tonnes of CO2, we exceeded expectations and saw a whopping 71.55 tonnes of CO2 saved, with a record-breaking 179 participants!
Thank you to all green travellers for their low-carbon and climate-conscious choices and of course, for supporting the Travel with CANIE initiative.
Special thanks to EAIE for partnering with CANIE on the initiative, The PIE for launching #ThePIEconvoy in conjunction with the PIEoneer Awards and to Fixterra for supporting the implementation this year.
Keep an eye out for plans to take Travel with CANIE to Gothenburg in 2025!

Share and encourage your colleagues to #TravelWithCANIE for their next event!
Every person who commits to reducing the CO2 emitted helps us get closer to the target. Help us reduce the emissions, one tonne at a time!
