Sustainability

Updated: 8 December 2025

Please note: The information contained in this chapter sets out good practice that should be considered by event organisers. However, it is industry guidance and does not necessarily cover everything that organisers need to consider for a particular event.

With increasing concern around sustainability, event organisers should give serious consideration to ways they can reduce their environmental impact, from sourcing energy and minimising the use of plastics to recycling and finding suppliers locally.
