Responsible.
With the objective of reevaluating its environmental, economic, and social impact, Events Concept is committed to a more sustainable development process with the objective of achieving ISO’s 20121 event certification. Link
During the planning phase, our agency assesses and calculates the carbon footprint to provide recommendations that influence decision-making, making it easier to organise more sustainable events.
In the production phase, we engage to implement our 12-point responsibility process in order to reduce the footprint impact whenever and wherever feasible.
01. Better Travel with Less Impact
Our dedication to reducing the environmental impact of events entails prioritizing eco-friendly travel options and minimizing unnecessary team and guest travel, as it can contribute to as much as 80% of an event’s CO2 emissions. In cases where travel cannot be avoided, we strive to make it as sustainable as possible. However, if it is deemed non-essential, we may opt to reduce or cancel it altogether.
02. Preference for Recyclable, Rented, or Reusable Materials
We aim to reduce waste by using recyclable, rented, or reusable materials and giving them a second life.
03. Reduction of single-use plastic
Plastic has become ubiquitous and its production and composition are damaging to the environment. We aim to eliminate single-use plastic at our events.
04. Waste reduction, sorting and recycling
05. Sustainable Event Design and Production
Designing and producing an environmentally responsible event requires incorporating sustainability considerations right from the outset. Therefore, we ensure to adopt a responsible approach starting from the initial planning stages and carry it through the entire production process.
06. Involving Suppliers in Sustainability Efforts
We work with our partners to select and/or educate them on sustainable practices, with the goal of mutual improvement.
07. Switch to Clean Energy
We prioritize the use of green energy networks for the energy consumption generated by our events and travel.
08. Encouraging Responsible Venues
When choosing venues, we prioritize locations that are environmentally responsible and have a good energy performance, accessibility, neighbourhood involvement, and other factors.
09. Social Responsibility
We aim to incorporate social responsibility into our approach, creating a professional and caring atmosphere at our events.
10. Supporting Local Economies
To reduce travel and respect the regions, we aim to be active participants in the local economies.
11 Environmentally Friendly Catering
In partnership with catering experts, we promote environmentally friendly catering options such as seasonal, local, and eco-packed food, and donate unused food to local organizations.
12. Post-event review for continuous improvement
To ensure continuous improvement, we conduct post-event reviews and draw up reports to assess the implementation of our sustainability charter.
