Canapii is committed to environmental conservation and community support. We’ve revolutionized the meetings and events industry by replacing paper-based processes with innovative software. Our vision is a sustainable, cloud-based industry that embraces energy-efficient technologies. By creating products that inherently promote natural resource conservation, we turn this vision into reality
We can make a difference together.
The nature of our offering
By operating in the digital realm, as a SaaS company, Canapii inherently reduces environmental impact compared to traditional industries by significantly decreasing the need for physical resources like paper, energy, and transportation.
Additionally, Canapii integrates sustainability into its core philosophy, reflected in our software products. As a software-as-a-service (SaaS) company, we help our clients avoid the environmental impact associated with events.
Our innovative solutions empower event planners to embrace eco-friendly practices. Historically, the meetings and events industry heavily relied on paper—invitations, survey cards, and conference materials – resulting in significant waste. At Canapii, we’ve substantially reduced this environmental footprint.
Canapii’s software streamlines green event planning, facilitating the implementation of recycling programs and environmentally friendly venue sourcing. Additionally, our Supplier Network prioritizes eco-conscious solutions, aligning with our customers’ environmental goals.

Global impact: Recognizing the influence of a global company like Canapii, we encourage videoconferencing and facilitate remote work for our employees. These measures collectively reduce our carbon footprint.

Canapii is committed to improving diversity, equity and inclusion at our company. From our very early days over half the company was female, this includes 3 out of the 4 Co-Founders – unusual in the tech industry, which has served as a solid foundation as we build a better company. Promoting diversity of people and thought as well as equal opportunities for all is a core Canapii mission so we can create a great company culture and drive results. There is work to do – we are imperfect. But from the top down, we are committed to improvement, feedback and change throughout the global organization.
Our global mindset means we also aim to attract a diverse, international pool of top talent.

Employee initiative for sustainable operations, equality, social responsibility and greener events
Sustainability
This initiative outlines the strategies and actions we will undertake to achieve our sustainability goals:
Establishment of regenerative supply chains: We will explore the creation of economically viable regenerative supply chains in developing regions. These supply chains will prioritize long-term economic viability while promoting sustainability principles. By integrating regenerative processes, we will contribute to a more sustainable operation for our company and the events we organize for our customers.
Tracking and measurement of carbon footprint: We will systematically track and measure our company’s carbon footprint as part of this initiative. Through partnerships with organizations such as Watershed, we will monitor emissions from various activities, including animation productions. This data will guide our efforts to identify areas for improvement, reduce emissions, and drive meaningful change in our operations and event planning.
Conducting energy efficiency audits: We will conduct regular energy efficiency audits to identify opportunities for reducing energy consumption and minimizing our carbon footprint. By assessing office equipment, lighting, and adopting green technology, we will contribute to creating a more sustainable workplace and delivering greener customer events.
Employee engagement in sustainability: Recognizing the pivotal role of employee engagement in driving successful sustainability initiatives, we will actively involve our workforce in our sustainability efforts. We understand that employees are more likely to be engaged when working for eco-friendly organizations and value opportunities to contribute to social and environmental causes. Therefore, we will provide platforms and support for our employees to make a positive impact, fostering greater job fulfillment, and loyalty.
Overcoming challenges: While implementing environmental initiatives may pose challenges, we will address them by emphasizing the positive impact on both the planet and employee satisfaction. By highlighting the benefits of sustainability efforts, we will motivate our staff to embrace these initiatives and overcome any perceived workload increases.
We believe that sustainable practices not only benefit the environment but also enhance employee engagement, loyalty, and our overall company reputation. Through the “Canapii Better” initiative, we are dedicated to creating a positive impact on our organization and contributing to a greener future for our company and our customers.
