Greenwashing Explained

Okay, let's talk Greenwashing. You may have heard of this term before, but what does it mean in the events industry? ​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Simply put, greenwashing means an organization may add "eco-friendly" words to their product descriptions, but don't... actually... do anything.​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
So what can you do?​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
* Choose vendors who are partnered with one or more of the following: Green Key Global, Green Step Tourism, One Percent for the Planet, Carbon Fund.​​​​​​​​
* Research the ways in which you want your event to minimize waste. E.g: no canned beers, no floral foam​​​​​​​​
* Ensure your sustainability demands are written into your vendor contracts, to hold them accountable​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Every event planned with us includes an Environmental Impact Assessment, where we will talk through your events waste goals and make sure your vendors are just as committed as you are.
