So, how is a 'carbon-neutral listing ceremony' achieved? We summarize it as: two standards and one path.

Firstly, there are currently two authoritative standards available for reference in the industry regarding carbon-neutral meetings: the "Green Meeting Guide and Action" co-authored by Carbonstop and the United Nations Environment Programme, and the "Guidelines for Implementing Carbon Neutrality in Large Events" issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment of the People's Republic of China.

Secondly, based on the "CREO" carbon neutrality path pioneered by Carbonstop, the carbon neutrality of Beike's listing ceremony can be summarized in three steps:

Step One: Quantify Carbon Emissions.According to the "Green Meeting Guide and Action" and the Guidelines for Implementing Carbon Neutrality in Large Events (Trial), the emission sources of a meeting generally include energy consumption, electricity usage, transportation and accommodation of attendees and organizers, venue setup, items used during the meeting, and waste disposal. Carbonstop leverages its position as the largest global carbon emission factor database combined with digital technology to efficiently and accurately calculate the carbon emissions of Beike's listing ceremony.

Step Two: Reduce Carbon Emissions.By adopting low-carbon solutions from Carbonstop that address emission sources such as energy consumption, transportation, food, and venue supplies, Beike ensured that the listing ceremony took place in a green, low-carbon, and sustainable environment, minimizing carbon emissions to the greatest extent possible.

Step Three: Achieve Carbon Neutrality.Under the professional guidance of Carbonstop, Beike primarily achieved carbon neutrality for the listing ceremony by purchasing CCERs (Chinese Certified Emission Reductions) generated from the 48 MW Lichuan Tianping Wind Power Project in Hubei, offsetting 5 tons of CO2 equivalent emitted during the event.
