Events are becoming more unique which is great but do you consider their impact on the planet and people?

There’s so many brilliant ways to implement positive change at events and ones which will make them more attractive to customers. People will be willing to pay more to attend an honest, authentic and sustainable event.

Here’s 6 changes to kick off an event planning brainstorm:

Venue
1. Locate a venue which has good public transport links so people can limit their carbon footprint.
2. Assess the sustainability credentials of a venue and choose one with minimal impact on the planet.

Suppliers
3. Choose a local catering company who source food from the surrounding area and consider a vegan menu.
4. Consider going paperless or find a printer who uses renewable energy, recycled paper, eco friendly ink.

Marketing
5. Set up your event website with a green web host.
6. Avoid goody bags even if they are tote bags. Opt for local gifts from makers or creators to promote the community.
