Tips for Greener Meetings
Sustainability is getting more and more important when planning an event or a meeting. Every little change can make a big difference in the carbon footprint of events.
Aranka Sarkozi, Event Consultant from Trinity Event Solutions, shares her 4 top tips for greener meetings:
- Pick a Green Venue: Choosing an eco-friendly venue or hotel, with modern systems and technology will improve your event’s carbon footprint. CSR policies are getting really important, when it comes to making the decision.
- Locally sourced food: Logistic is one of the biggest contributors to air pollution. By choosing local food and drinks can reduce this. Also, locally sourced foods are tastier and fresher.
- Leftover food: We all know that there is always some leftover food after buffet lunches and refreshment breaks. Choose a venue, which has partnership with local charities. Donate the leftover food to them.
- Sustainable activities: Take your team out for an outdoor activity. Organise planting trees or cleaning beaches. It can give an extra boost to event sustainability.
