Fortunately, in recent years society has become increasingly aware of the need to care for the environment. This awareness is everyone’s responsibility and must be reflected in all our activities. The organization of a sustainable event is one of them.

Why a sustainable event?

The future of our environment depends on the decisions we make. Organizing an event is a great opportunity to create new habits of behavior. From a commercial point of view, it means an economic saving in planning and will have an impact on the satisfaction of the attendees.

How to organize a sustainable event?

There are several factors to take into account when organizing an event that complies with the canons of sustainability. Let’s look at some of them:

Energy saving

As far as possible we will try to organize our event during the day and in an open space. At night we have to use lighting devices, as well as covered areas.

Recycling

In the event that food and beverages are served at our event, we must provide containers for the recycling of plastics and paper. We can also eliminate the use of plastic cutlery and plates if we choose the right menu.

Saving paper

New technologies allow us to advertise and reach the public without having to use paper. In case the access is paid, we can also manage everything from mobile phones.

Impact

We must make sure that we do not cause a negative impact on the environment in which we will carry out our activity. To this end, we will take measures against possible fires and care of the ecosystem.

Communication

It is essential to communicate to all those involved, attendees, collaborators and suppliers that our event is based on sustainability. This will make things much easier and create the ideal environment to achieve our goal.
