Making Your Event Sustainable: ESGmark® Guide
Planning an event? Make it sustainable with our Sustainable Events Guide
The ESGmark® Sustainable Events Guide is for anyone planning an event, large or small. We aim to help organisers make their event or events more sustainable and aligned with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals.
This guide provides clear, practical steps, explains why each step matters, and, crucially, shows you how to measure the impact of your event. The advice is suitable for almost any event, including conferences, award ceremonies, company functions, and exhibition stands.
We cover:
Why should your next event be sustainable?
Guiding principles
Location: Venue & Transport
Food and Catering
Materials and Waste
Communications and Engagement
