What Is A
Green Event?
HInt: it’s not just putting out
recycle bins and calling it good.
Don’t worry if you don’t really know or aren’t sure how you'll know when you get there; the whole world is trying to figure out that one. With the lack of a singular and all encompassing certification or standard that spans all event types, we're working to move the industry forward. At Elysium Events, we’ve created our own rules; leveraging years of experience and best practice research to produce the best possible result.
A green or sustainable event is often defined as “a gathering that incorporates a wide spectrum of environmental and social considerations throughout all stages in order to minimize negative impacts”.
Our focus is on working towards zero waste but we realize there is a bigger picture here. We can provide a holistic approach with our additional pillars of Engagement, Food, Energy, and Positive Legacy Projects.
