Together for the ocean

Every achievement begins with people.

On the occasion of Family Day 2026, IMESA celebrates what makes every achievement special: people, relationships and valuable partnerships.

For this event, we have chosen to collaborate with Sea the Change, an organisation committed to sustainability and ocean protection, adding another important step to our journey towards a more responsible future.

The impact of an event

To make a difference, we must first measure.

Every event has an environmental impact. Understanding it is the first step towards reducing it.

Travel

The emissions generated by the journeys and mobility of guests, families and event organisers.

ϟ

Energy

The energy required to bring the event’s spaces, activities and services to life.

Materials and waste

The resources used during the event and the waste remaining at the end of the day.

From data to action

A tangible commitment, step by step.

We collect the data

We gather the available information on the Family Day’s activities, energy use and resources.

We calculate the footprint

Sea the Change measures the event’s overall carbon footprint.

We reduce and offset

We identify effective reduction strategies and offset the event’s residual emissions.

Blue Carbon Credits

A nature-based response from the Venice Lagoon.

The event’s residual emissions will be calculated and offset through Blue Carbon Credits generated in the Venice Lagoon.

Sea the Change’s project supports the sustainable management of the Venice Lagoon’s fishing valleys, where macroalgae and phytoplankton play a fundamental role in capturing and storing CO₂.

These organisms act as natural carbon reservoirs, helping to mitigate the effects of climate change and maintain the balance of the lagoon ecosystem.

What are Blue Carbon Credits?
They are instruments that quantify the carbon absorbed or avoided through environmental restoration projects and the sustainable management of marine and coastal ecosystems.

The Family Day results

Transparency, down to the last detail.

The precise quantity of emissions generated and the number of carbon credits will be determined after the event, based on the data collected and the information available.

“The magic of people lies in finding those who share the same values and creating something meaningful together—something capable of leaving a positive mark.”
