Here's how you can meet the growing demand for sustainable events as an event producer.

While seeking certified green venues is admirable, it often narrows the search to a handful of options, restricting the overall scope. However, this challenge is worth taking as an initial step. Look further afield and ensure the process and execution of the project are mindful of creating a well-produced, sustainable experience for your client and their guests.

Alegría: ?Wow, qué emocionante! ?Esto es increíble! Elegir lugares ecológicos no solo es una gran idea, ?es una fiesta de sostenibilidad! Imagina un evento en un lugar que brilla con certificaciones de eficiencia energética, ?como una estrella de rock verde! ?Vamos a inspirar a todos a ser más conscientes y cuidar nuestro hermoso planeta!

Eco-friendly venues come with collateral benefits on all other aspects. They will usually have identified options for better sustainable catering options than most, know that digital screens and signposting can enable organizers to spare printed banners and merchandising items, and will be naturally more familiar with the topic in order to support efforts in sustainable practices for production companies and other subcontractors. They will also tend to be more modern or recently renovated venues, which will steer your choices to explore the latest in the market. In doing so, consider the whole budget of your event production and not the venue sub-bucket standalone, there may not even be a price premium when all things are considered.

To meet the growing demand for sustainable events as an event producer, focus on eco-friendly practices. Choose venues with green certifications, opt for digital invitations to reduce paper waste, implement recycling and composting programs, serve locally-sourced and organic food, and prioritize energy-efficient lighting and decor. Educate clients on the benefits of sustainability and collaborate with suppliers committed to environmental responsibility to create memorable yet eco-conscious events.

Alegría: ?Reducir desechos es fantástico! ?Imaginen un evento donde todo se reutiliza o se recicla! Es como una gran fiesta donde nada se desperdicia y todos contribuyen a un mundo más limpio. ?Qué maravilla! ?Cada paso hacia un evento de cero desperdicio es una razón para celebrar! Tristeza: Es triste ver la cantidad de desperdicio que generamos, especialmente en eventos grandes. Pero pensar en la posibilidad de reducir esa basura, reciclar más y compostar lo orgánico, me da un poco de esperanza. Saber que los alimentos sobrantes se donan en lugar de ir a la basura me hace sentir que aún podemos hacer algo bueno.

In a clearly digital world, the use of paper to promote something seems just a waste of money. There’s a lot of sustainable alternatives to prometo your business using technology and recyclable itens.

Algo que pode ser significativo e muito importante na gest?o sustentável de eventos é o lixo que pode ser gerado com copos de plástico, por exemplo. Dessa forma, duas preocupa??es bacanas para se cogitar é escolher lugares que tenham acesso livre à agua, com bebedouros ou filtros de água mesmo, além de eventualmente oferecer às pessoas participantes copos de acrílico ou outro material um pouco mais resistente ou mesmo canecas, incentivando as pessoas a levarem esses recipientes a outros eventos que elas forem.

Reconhe?o que a gest?o de resíduos desempenha um papel crucial na produ??o sustentável. Optar por um evento de lixo zero e oferecer op??es claras de reciclagem e compostagem s?o passos essenciais para minimizar desperdícios. Incentivar a bilhetagem digital e substituir comunica??es em papel por alternativas eletr?nicas n?o só reduz o impacto ambiental, mas também simplifica a experiência dos participantes. Além disso, fechar parceria com organiza??es de resgate de alimentos, garantindo que qualquer sobra seja doada para apoiar comunidades locais. Ao implementar essas práticas, n?o apenas reduzimos o impacto ambiental, mas também exploramos oportunidades para economizar nos custos associados ao descarte de resíduos.

A veces me preocupa que no estemos haciendo lo suficiente para proteger nuestro planeta. Pero al optar por un catering sostenible, sé que estamos en el camino correcto. Ofrecer opciones más saludables y ecológicas no solo ayuda al medio ambiente, sino que también cuida de los asistentes. ?Eso me hace sentir un poco más seguro sobre el futuro! ?Esto no puede seguir así! Necesitamos ser más responsables con nuestras elecciones alimenticias. ?Exijamos a nuestros proveedores de catering que usen productos locales y orgánicos! Y claro, ?nada de residuos innecesarios! Vajilla compostable, ?sí o sí!

Sustainable catering options are available in most cities by now, but the client is also able to make almost any catering company sustainable in their choices. Apart from rare occasions, you can dramatically increase the % of vegan/vegetarian offerings, up to 100%, without any downside in guest experience, and in most cases actual upsides. Seasonal, locally sourced produce makes a huge difference. Having a plan pre-aligned with catering regarding leftovers management is also to be considered, as there can be great options if you just ask and align upfront.

Uma a??o ética que pode ser importante pensando no dimensionamento da comida é sondar se há restri??es alimentares, levantar quantas pessoas s?o veganas ou vegetarianas, levantar também quantas pessoas pretendem almo?ar/jantar naquele espa?o. Isso pode dar uma ideia melhor de volume para informar à cozinha e, dessa forma, ter um pouco de equilíbrio nas refei??es ofertadas, podendo reduzir o desperdício.

Esto es una ventaja cuando organizas eventos gratuitos o culturales. Además, si no cuentas con instalaciones propias, puedes colaborar con organizaciones, universidades o municipios ??

Green transportation and optimization of transportation needs to be considered from the very beginning and actually is tightly coupled with venue selection. A venue in immediate proximity to public transport will redefine the transportation options for 80%+ of participants. If you're going to have a lot of attendees fly in anyways, locating the venue as close to the airport as possible will also inherently reduce the incremental carbon budget of transportation after arrival. Similarly, venues with meeting rooms, bars and dining options on site or in immediate vicinity will enable a great guest experience with a sense of diversity in locations without all the transportation extra burden.

An excellent example of green transportation for an event is carpooling. Using a vehicle that has less carbon emissions to transport your guests will save the environment, cost of energy and provide a unique time for guests to collaborate during transportation.

Se sua organizar promover um evento e tiver grande controle sobre a logística das pessoas participantes, procure organizar para que ao menos boa parte delas cheguem a um aeroporto ou rodoviária em horários próximos. Caso elas possam ir caminhando, est?o acompanhadas uma das outras; Caso você precise enviar um carro para ela, um veículo coletivo otimizaria a vinda de muitas pessoas de uma vez.

This has an excellent marketing curve for your event, business or institution and the stakeholders. Everyone will have great exposure to the guests by expressing how each plays a role in environmental awareness. This can be achieved by everyone providing an action in their role, say for example a restaurant that uses green technology for equipment could host as the caterer.

Atender à crescente demanda por eventos sustentáveis é um compromisso que envolve toda a comunidade de eventos. Comunicar políticas ecológicas com antecedência para fornecedores, patrocinadores e participantes é fundamental. é necessário incentivar ativamente todos os envolvidos a adotar práticas ecologicamente corretas e fornecer diretrizes claras sobre como podem contribuir para um evento mais sustentável. Ao promover um ambiente colaborativo, podemos gerar um impacto coletivo que vai além do próprio evento.

Reusable bags, shirts made of renewed materials and bottles that can be reused are all great examples of how your event can leave lasting impressions on its guests and be safe for the environment. Involve your stakeholders through a marketing perspective by offering the service of providing their information on these items or accepting them as do actions to give your guests.

Overall when it comes to sustainability it’s about being considered and use common sense. Provide Comprehensive Information: so your r client has what they need to-make informed decisions based on the project’s holistic goals, rather than focusing on individual elements meeting bureaucratic benchmarks. not everyone is certified and that’s ok - it should be expected vendors have solid sustainable practices in place now - this can happen without a rubber stamp. This approach will provide more options and better outcomes - across the board . As producers we are challenged to prioritize Mindfulness in Execution: across every aspect of the planning & implementation, making a difference where a difference can be made.

Consider incorporating sustainable materials in event setups, like, opt for reusable signage made from sustainable materials like bamboo or recycled plastic... Consider digital signage displayed on screens to reduce printed materials... Use sunfabric instead of flex... Partner with rental companies that offer eco-friendly furniture made from recycled materials or certified sustainable wood...
