What is the Carbon Calculator?
An industry-first tool that calculates the carbon footprint of every piece of furniture you hire. From the moment it's made to the moment we collect it, giving you full visibility across three key stages:
-
Manufacturing: emissions from when the item is produced.
-
Port to Warehouse: emissions from overseas and local shipping to our facilities.
-
Delivery & Collection: emissions from transporting your furniture to and from your event site.
It’s an authentic calculation, powered by certified data and brought to life through our partnership with Trace.

How It Works
Every invoice now includes a carbon impact badge, showing your total emissions for that order. Here’s how to explore it:
1. Click the Carbon Calculator badge on your invoice.
2. Enter your rental number and email on the landing page.
3. You’ll instantly receive:
- A breakdown of carbon emissions by category
- Your Carbon Calculator Certificate & Third Party Verification document
- How many trees were planted to offset your order
Please note, total carbon emissions can only be calculated once your order has been collected.

FAQs
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is Valiant’s Carbon Emissions Calculator?
Our Carbon Emissions Calculator is a certified tool developed with Taronga Group to measure the carbon footprint of each order. The calculations are verified by a third-party, Purpose Made, ensuring reliability and transparency in our approach to sustainability.
Does this impact the cost of my hire?
No — the carbon calculation and offsetting are included as part of your event furniture hire with Valiant. There are no additional charges to access your Certificate of Impact or offset your order.
Do you calculate carbon emissions for every quote or only confirmed orders?
We only generate carbon emission data for confirmed and processed orders. Once your hire is finalised, our Carbon Calculator captures and reports the full emissions footprint of your furniture hire — from manufacturing through to collection.
How does the calculator estimate emissions?
The calculator analyses emissions in three main areas: Manufacturing Emissions, Port to Warehouse Emissions, and Delivery and Collection Emissions. It factors in the item's lifecycle, transportation distances, rental duration and order specifics to provide an accurate carbon impact for every rental.
How are these emissions offset?
Valiant partners with Trace to fully offset the carbon emissions from each order. We support verified local and global climate projects that help reduce global carbon footprints and contribute to environmental conservation.

Is the calculator methodology verified?
Yes, Purpose Made conducted an independent audit to confirm the accuracy of our methodology, data collection, and calculations. This verification helps ensure our clients receive transparent and trustworthy data.
How often is the data updated?
We update our data annually to maintain accuracy and reflect the latest industry standards and environmental data. This keeps our calculator reliable and aligned with best practices in carbon accounting.
Does Valiant use Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) when calculating emissions?
Whenever possible, we collect Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) directly from our suppliers. EPDs provide verified data on the environmental impact of products, enhancing the accuracy of our carbon calculations by reducing reliance on estimates. This approach ensures that our Carbon Emissions Calculator reflects precise, up-to-date information, supporting transparency and trustworthiness in our emissions reporting.
How does Valiant benchmark the carbon emissions of each order?
Valiant uses tree carbon absorption as a relatable benchmark to illustrate emissions. Since one tree absorbs approximately 25 kg of CO₂ annually (source: EcoTree), we compare each order’s emissions to the number of trees needed to absorb an equivalent amount. This helps clients easily understand the environmental impact of their choices.
