In an era where environmental responsibility is paramount, it is crucial for associations to lead by example and integrate sustainable practices into their events, ensuring a positive impact on both the environment and their communities. Establishing these practices not only demonstrates a commitment to environmental stewardship and reducing resource consumption and increasingly aligns with stakeholder expectations and offers opportunities to showcase sustainable practices across your audience.
The Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges (EAUC), an organisation dedicated to both sustainability and accessibility, embodies these values in its operations, particularly in event delivery where practices are highly visible to members and stakeholders. In this seminar, Charlotte Bonner, CEO of EAUC will discuss how they have adapted their events to showcase sustainable practices, trialled innovative solutions, and share the lessons learned along the way. We will explore key aspects of delivering sustainable and accessible events, focusing on:
- Working with suppliers, venues, and exhibitors
- Sustainable food and catering
- Sustainability with professional travel
- Measuring impacts
- Promoting delegate and staff wellbeing
- Creating social value for the local community
- Achieving EDI (equality, diversity and inclusion) goals through events
