Green Evénements designs and manages eco-responsible events following the BS8901 standard – see the certification section – and using proven tools. This notably includes our custom analytic Sustainable Event grid, based on a Canadian tool that has been under continuous refinement for more than 10 years.
All of the tools that we use are available to our clients and partners. On request, we will share our Sustainable Event grid template.
Our methodology takes into account all aspects of the events which are linked to sustainable and responsible development: we limit the negative impacts of the event on the environment and we especially seek social benefits – both locally and towards developing countries.
Our method’s two key factors:
- Take sustainability into account from the birth of the project (before the summary!) to truly innovate and “think green”.
- Focus on sustainability for every aspect of your event (planning, communication, production, impact management, etc).
Our status as a certified events management company is the cornerstone of our commitment to ensuring eco-friendly events.
This certification guarantees that your event complies with sustainable development principles at every phase, from conception to execution.
How do we determine concrete actions and pertinent objectives throughout the process?
Our Analysis Grid defines an easily-applied series of criteria and indicators during each phase of the event, no matter the size or the theme. Our expertise lies in identifying which actions and milestones should be applied to your specific event, and then bringing everything together smoothly.
Social and technological innovation and inventiveness are the fundamental components of carrying out ecologically-sound events with a focus on the following measures:
Environmental Measures:
- Conscientious resource management (electronic invitations, reusable dishware, shared transportation options, local products)
- Waste reduction (sorting, recycling and re-use)
Social Measures:
- Public health and safety (non-toxic cleaning products, strict controls for all providers and at each level of the project)
- Participant education (sustainable development information and education, encouragement of open-mindedness to environmental practices)
- Improvements in quality of life (collaboration with social job placement agencies, equitable trade partners, and agencies involved in North/South sustainable projects)
Economic Measures:
- Sharing the wealth (avoidance of unnecessary layers of subcontractors)
- Recognizing long term value (partner selection based on history of responsible purchasing and environmentally friendly practices)
