Waste Minimisation

There are many ways to minimise your event's waste production by taking control of your event's waste stream.

Exhibitions

The venue, exhibition organiser, and exhibitors all have a role to play to ensure that sustainability is implemented at an exhibition. Inform your stakeholders of your environmental policy and goals.

Food & Beverage

The food consumed has a large impact on events and it's one of the main areas we can help you achieve your goals.

Energy Efficiency

Electricity consumption has a huge impact on the carbon footprint of an event.

Sustainable Procurement         

Procurement of products and services have a big influence on event greening , so REDUCE,

REUSE and RECYCLE when procuring for your event.

Marketing, PR, & Production

There are many ways to include green elements into your event marketing & PR. Try to avoid printing by providing information and registration electronically.

Offsetting

Offsetting the exhibitor and delegates' carbon footprint is extremely important. Choose a partner who can help.

Décor

Décor also plays an important role in green events. Try to be innovative and use energy efficient lights and recyclable materials for decor.

“The second Responsible Business Forum on Sustainable Development was recognised as one of the world’s greenest and most sustainably-produced events in 2013, largely due to the industry leading commitment of our host venue and sustainability partner, Marina Bay Sands. For our latest event in 2014, Marina Bay Sands helped us to raise the sustainability bar even higher in many ways including real-time energy use displayed throughout the venue, a sustainable seafood meal for our dinner and further reduced food waste.”
