How To Incorporate Sustainability At Your Business Event

Corporate events are a great way to promote company culture, create connections and show appreciation to employees. However, did you know that they can also create a lot of waste? In fact, about 2.5 pounds of waste is generated each day at a public event. Luckily, there are ways you can reduce your impact on the environment. Read on to learn how you can incorporate sustainability at your next business event.

Instead of an in-person event, consider opting for a digital one. You send invites via websites, email, events apps, etc., to minimize paper waste. If you still want some in-person mingling, you can throw a hybrid event to cut down on waste and costs.

Invest in a green menu by selecting planet-friendly catering. For example, you can avoid food wastage by ordering food for the exact number of participants. This will help prevent food from ending up in landfills, which can cause methane emissions. Moreover, you can opt for more plant-based food options instead of meals with meat, as well as dishes that feature locally sourced, seasonal ingredients.

Book a sustainable event venue for your corporate gathering. Look for venues that meet sustainability guidelines and standards. Additionally, some venues have sustainability certifications such as LEED and IACC Green Star. You can also work with sustainable event vendors. For instance, some suppliers might offer decorations that are reusable or recyclable. For more ways you can make your business event more sustainable, see the accompanying infographic:
