The issue of food waste highlights that going green is often thinking about the lesser-known aspects of sustainability . It ’ s not just “ how much CO2 is my event producing ?” it ’ s about looking at your supply chain under the microscope .
Great expectations
Businesses across numerous sectors are becoming more aware of the environmental impact of events , so putting on more sustainable shows can be a selling point .
An attendee for an international event might need to fly to a venue . Increasingly now the concern is less about when the flight is and more on how the business ensures it ’ s offsetting its carbon footprint . Having events with sustainability at its core alleviates these concerns .
The practicalities of the situation too are that events are under increasing scrutiny , it ’ s no longer good enough to have sustainability be an afterthought or a “ nice to have ”. At least not when there are examples of events run with sustainability in mind , such as G7 and COP26 .
Design to thrive
Working from the ground up to provide sustainable solutions is the hallmark of Identity ’ s strategy , we work with our suppliers to remain sustainable .
Take waste management for example . It all starts with good design .
