I didn't go to #ClimateWeek this year. I applaud the efforts of the sustainability leaders who are there and continuing to move their respective industries forward. Last year, I was full of excitement having just launched, so full of opportunity. I was invited to a prestigious event hosted by a reputable financial organization focused on climate action as essential risk avoidance. There were a handful of fortune 50 Chief Sustainability Officers on the panel, I was thrilled to learn and witness the conversation. Showing up to the event, the first thing I saw was the catered breakfast, with various cute parfaits served in plastic. Next, there were compostable plates and plastic forks/spoons, but no composting or recycling anywhere in sight. (If compostables go to landfill, they still last 300+ years) Also, few people were engaging with the food due to the networking opportunities. I presume the food was not donated, post-event. This was the first glimpse of an insight which I have experienced in my work frequently over the past year. There is a disconnect between the C-Suite and events - not intentional - but one nonetheless. I presume the C-Suite doesn't know much about how events come together yet value their importance. They're creating #netzero goals and discussing #decarbonization and otherwise adjusting business practices - without addressing certain harder to abate departments/scope 3. Event planners also have the best intentions for sustainability but it can be overwhelming without a simple and logical path forward. The main event emissions are these, in order of impacts: Travel, Energy, Sourcing (Suppliers/Materials), Food, Waste And of course, positive impacts come by way of CSR activities. The business case for sustainable events as we teach event pros? 4 Main Factors: Compliance, Financial, Future Generations + Brand Reputation We need business leaders to address sustainable innovation in all departments and all aspects of business. I am excited for the day when #sustainabilitystrategy is the first step in all events and I believe we will see it become standard practice within the next five years. #eventsofpurpose #sustainableevents #sustainabilitystrategy

Tune in to the latest Responsible Futures podcast as I chat with Mike Seaman, CEO of Raccoon Media Group, along with their sustainability partner, Charlie Cotton from ecollective. Mike shares the inspiring journey of the National Running Show, which has grown to 42 staff and 17 exhibitions across the UK and US since its start in 2018. We discuss the importance of connecting passionate communities, combining work with purpose, and their commitment to responsible growth. Mike dives into their sustainability journey, from realising the need to care for the planet to developing a meaningful strategy with transparency and accountability. They break down the challenge of carbon reduction into manageable parts, focusing on changing behaviours before resorting to carbon offsetting. We explore the hurdles they faced in data collection and measuring environmental impact, the success of initiatives to encourage sustainable travel, and the importance of a continuous improvement mindset. Mike emphasises the value of hiring experts, staying open to learning, and engaging the community to foster collective responsibility. If you're in the events industry, you'll find inspiration and actionable steps in this discussion. Tune in to learn more about making impactful changes in your own events!

What are your New Year's resolutions for events? If sustainability is one of them, we've got you covered! ♻️ In the upcoming days, we'll be sharing key insights from Episode 59, "Increasing The Sustainability Of Your Trade Shows And Events," featuring Al Mercuro and Marley Finnegan. These highlights will provide valuable guidance to kickstart your journey toward more sustainable events. In this clip, Marley talks about how going macro is key. Dive into the sustainability game with a macro lens—understand those event emissions. Our advice? 1️⃣ Start at the beginning: strategize to slash emissions tied to energy and travel. 2️⃣ Lean into your suppliers and kickoff a sustainability dialogue. Challenge them! Ask the hard-hitting questions about reusable, recyclable materials, and eco-friendly freight options. It's not just a conversation starter; it's a game-changer. Remember, it's not just about commitment—it's about contracts. Get that sustainable promise in writing. 📝 Because when you measure emissions, you need the data to make a real impact.

Today, I'm at The Business Show with my business buddy Sally Pearce and we're looking forward to what the day will bring. It's a two day event but we're going to pack a lot into just today - Thursday! There are lots of interesting speakers and seminars and when we went last year, we took in a lot of information. We really enjoyed being part of it as participants. Why go? Apart from the fact it's free, you meet lots of interesting people. You learn new things. You get some fantastic tips. You learn about a lot of things you've never thought about or never used before. You gain sore feet by the end but it's worth it! The show also talks about sustainability, and there's an area called Sustainability Zone that helps SME and startup owners to measure, monitor and report on the environmental impact of their processes, making their businesses greener. To me - this is really important. The more you can give back, improve on the impact you have, even as an individual solo business owner, is essential. I think it should be part of our mantra as business owners. There is so much to find out about at the show, I hope to capture as much of it as possible. Let me know if you're going to be there too! #thebusinessshow2023 #businessinspiration #networking #businessideas #copywriteratlarge

I love the idea of Green Incentives for employees that Raphaella Yver talks about on the Sustainable Hotels Podcast. It seems to be working very well for Pandox and gets everyone focused on driving positive change and achieving company ESG targets. So much of operating more sustainably is to do with behaviour change, so starting by incentivising positive behaviour is a great way of approaching it. It's also interesting that most of their investments into sustainability have seen ROI within the year. #esg #sustainablebusiness #hospitalityindustry #behaviourchange https://lnkd.in/eQtaGj2K
