Planning an event sustainably

Things to consider when planning an event sustainably.

  1. GOALS AND OBJECTIVES FOR YOUR EVENT: Why it is happening, what is it for and who is attending?
  2. IMPACT AND RISKS: Identify the aspects of your event that have an impact on the environment and people involved. Consider what these risks are and their significance whilst carrying out a regular risk assessment is useful.
  3. PLAN: Once identifying risks, consider all your options and opt for the solutions that have the least negative impact on the environment and people involved.
  4. MEASURE: Put indicators in place so that you can measure the success of your event.
  5. REPORT: Ask for feedback from participants then share your successes and findings with colleagues and the sustainability team so that we can champion best practice and keep track of the impact university events have.
