Yet organizers often rely on disconnected forms, spreadsheets, and incomplete responses, making it difficult to understand their impact and identify where to improve. Petit Duc starts with participant travel, helping organizers collect, structure, and interpret the data they need. As the platform evolves, it will bring more event sustainability data and reporting together in one place. - #### The Largest Source of Event Emissions On average, participant travel accounts for 80% of an event’s greenhouse gas emissions—and sometimes more. - #### Fragmented Data and Processes Manual tools and incomplete information make measurement and reporting unnecessarily difficult. - #### Clearer Opportunities to Improve Better data helps organizers identify realistic actions for future editions. ![Real-time Petit Duc dashboard showing response rate, greenhouse gas emissions, distance traveled, and transportation mode breakdown during an event.](https://www.petitduc.ca/images/illustrations/solution-overview-dashboard.d6dd0c76.png) ## From travel data to concrete action plans Petit Duc brings participant travel data, greenhouse gas calculations, and reporting into one clear workflow. Today, it helps organizers understand one of the largest sources of event emissions. As the platform evolves, it will bring more sustainability data together to support better decisions across the entire event. - Collect Participant Travel Data - Analyze Travel Emissions - Understand Patterns and Opportunities - Act Improve Future Events Current capabilities ## Built for the Complexity of Event Travel Participant journeys are rarely as simple as a single origin and transportation mode. Petit Duc helps you collect real-world travel information, structure complex journeys, calculate related emissions, and make sense of the results. - #### Dedicated Participant Collection Collect travel information through an event-specific participant experience. - #### Multimodal and Multi-Segment Journeys Account for trips involving multiple transportation modes, stops, locations, or event days. - #### Carpooling and Occupancy Consider vehicle occupancy to better represent the impact of shared journeys. - #### Travel Emission Calculations Estimate greenhouse gas emissions associated with the journeys reported by participants. - #### Maps and Travel Patterns Understand where participants come from, how they travel, and which journeys contribute most to emissions. - #### Shareable Event Results Bring key findings together in clear outputs for internal reporting and external stakeholders. ## Less guesswork. Better event decisions. - ### Understand Your Travel Footprint See where participants come from, how they travel, and which journeys contribute most to your event's greenhouse gas emissions. - ### Identify Practical Opportunities Use travel patterns and emission hotspots to improve mobility options, participant communications, and planning for future editions. - ### Communicate Progress Responsibly Share results with the appropriate context, acknowledge data limitations, and demonstrate progress without overstating your impact. - ### Report With Confidence Turn complex travel data into clear, shareable results for your team, partners, sponsors, and funders. ## What our customers say ![MT Lab](https://www.petitduc.ca/images/organizations/ecosystem/mt-lab.003cb89f.svg) “Petit Duc turns an often abstract ambition—reducing the footprint of our events—into useful, accessible, action-oriented data. It is exactly what the industry needs: a solution we now use with confidence.” Julien Bergeron Director, Entrepreneurship Programs and Sustainable Innovation Hubs MT Lab ![Événements Attractions Québec](https://www.petitduc.ca/images/organizations/customers/evenements-attractions-quebec.7a406015.svg) “We had the opportunity to work with Petit Duc for our 2026 Sustainable Mobility Forum. Using this tool made a real difference, both in reducing our event’s carbon footprint and in raising awareness among our participants. In the end, 85% of them chose a sustainable mode of transportation.” Morgane Charaix Sustainability Advisor Événements Attractions Québec Product roadmap ## We start with travel. We expand to the whole event. Petit Duc focuses today on participant travel, one of the most significant and difficult sources of event emissions to measure. The platform is gradually expanding to bring more sustainability data and reporting together in one place. Available Today ### Participant Travel Journeys Collect journey data, estimate related greenhouse gas emissions, understand travel patterns, and identify opportunities to improve future events. In Development ### Residual Waste Materials Track the materials generated during your event, how they are managed, and where opportunities exist to reduce waste, improve sorting, and increase diversion. Our Direction ### Broader Impact Reporting Bring mobility, residual materials, and future sustainability indicators together to support more consistent measurement, clearer reporting, and better decisions. ## Part of a Broader Ecosystem Collaborating with organizations that advance sustainability and innovation.
