Planning and Implementation.
Stakeholder engagement is a core element in the planning and implementation stages. We help you communicate effectively with interested parties regarding sustainable development principles, which rely on inclusivity, integrity, stewardship, and transparency. Where necessary, we offer virtual training to stakeholders to enhance their awareness, knowledge, understanding, and competence in managing event sustainability. We provide them with tools to ensure long-term success.
We study the negative impacts of your event layer by layer and consult with interested parties to discuss the best options for mitigating them. To the extent possible, we ensure that both humans and the environment are respected and protected from risks caused by the organised event by referring to sustainable development policies. We are always open to hearing how far your entity wants to go in achieving its objectives and will provide you with different approaches to address your sustainable development issues. -
Supply Chain Management.
Supply chain management is a crucial aspect of sustainable events, as the supply chain serves as the lifeblood of an event. By making it healthier—much like choosing nutritious food over junk food—the event industry can thrive longer. We believe that opting for fair and ethical trade businesses will enhance sustainable development management. We aim to minimise the negative impacts of products and services, prioritise resource-efficient options, and choose solutions that achieve better outcomes for the planet.
A better supply chain doesn’t necessarily mean higher costs. Anticipating sustainable development issues during the procurement process can actually save money by preventing unnecessary costs later, particularly in waste management. We consider the full spectrum of the procurement process, addressing health and social impacts, air quality, and hazardous waste. We assist you in defining a sustainable procurement policy tailored to your event’s needs. -
Evaluation.
We identify and evaluate potential issues linked to your event meticulously to ensure better management. These issues can include common problems such as noise, waste, water and sanitation, transport and logistics, resource utilisation, material choices, biodiversity and natural preservation, animal welfare, emissions reduction, energy, prevention of banned chemicals, as well as social aspects like local community impact, market presence, economic performance, indirect economic impacts, health and safety at work, working conditions and social protection, security practices, illegal drugs and anti-doping, consumer practices, food and beverage, discrimination, vulnerable groups, and communication. The list is not exhaustive and will vary depending on the event type, size, and activities.
By collaborating with interested parties, we will list the full range of activities, categorising them by space, time, and impact significance. We will then discuss what can and cannot be achieved for sustainable practices, along with the resources required for implementation. We will also help them make informed decisions and adhere to best practices by presenting the pros and cons and the potential effects of related actions.
