Sustainable Consulting Japan
Consulting Japan’s top events & marketing agencies on best sustainable practices within events, during a trip to the UK.
The Challenge
We were approached by Japan Gray Line and the Sustainable Events Council to provide inspiration within the world of event sustainability and discuss opportunities for future collaboration/partnerships. The Sustainable Event Council brings together five of Japan's top companies in the events & marketing industries to promote sustainability. They were to use these findings during their involvement in Expo 2025 which will be taking place in Osaka, Japan.
The Result
We welcomed the team of 9 to our offices in London on a sunny day in September. There were 6 members from Japanese agencies, 2 from Japan Gray Line and an interpreter.
We had some introductions over tea, coffee and British snacks before digging into some deeper topics which included:
-
Core sustainable event planning processes
-
Development of environmentally friendly materials
-
Supplier and stakeholder management
-
Carbon budgets
-
Diversity, Equality & Inclusion
Throughout the meeting we presented key case studies to highlight how we implemented innovative techniques to support the reduction of carbon emissions in addition to discussing and detailing our supplier vetting procedures.
The meeting ended with questions around hybrid and zero waste events before we finished up for the day.
