title

The ESGmark® Sustainable Events Guide should be of interest for any individual or organisation planning a physical event, whether large or small scale.

The purpose of this guide is to help organisers make their event as sustainable as possible and to align to broader ESG (environmental, social, and governance) goals. We take you step-by-step through practical actions to deliver impactful results, explaining why they are important and how to measure them. The suggestions here are designed to be applicable for a range of events, such as conferences, award ceremonies, and exhibitions.

We cover:

  • Why design a sustainable event?
  • Guiding principles and where to begin
  • Location: venue and transport
  • Food and catering
  • Materials and waste
  • Communications and engagement
  • Aligning to wider ESG metrics

This guide has been created by ESGmark® and The Sustainable Events Company, an ESGmark® Certified company.
