​
Our interdisciplinary approach to sustainability ensures that your events meet your desired standards while remaining engaging and memorable for all attendees and stakeholders.
How do events impact people and the planet?
The climate crisis and environmental emergency are both complex interconnected challenges. Science tells us that human activity, the systems in which we consume and adapt our environment, is pushing the delicate ecological balance of our planet beyond its tipping points.
​
It's the food we eat, how we travel, how we power our work and play. It's how we create new experiences and what happens to the products when those experiences are through.
​
The event industry is no outlier to this. By their nature, the event, hospitality, and tourism industries cultivate points of intense consumption and change or extract from resources or the environment for temporary gain.
The growing imperative for sustainable events
Organisations around the world are increasingly looking to increase their sustainability credentials. Responsibility for social and environmental sustainability is being driven both intrinsically and by mandate. As individuals across disciplines grapple with the challenge of adapting to save the future of our planet, legislation and regulation are also catalysing change.
​
More and more sectors are seeking to deliver a sustainable event in their industry as a good marketing tool to demonstrate their sustainable values. However, there is far more to it than just the good PR of looking after our world.
How can we change events management to make our events sustainable?
The industry is beginning to catch the wave of a turning tide of behaviour change. How we do events now and in the future must evolve constantly in the following ways to ensure the survival of the industry itself, and of course, our planet. There are many ways we can change our approach to event planning. But it requires a sustained long-term vision to reap the benefits

Mobility
