Events require significant resources like energy, water, and materials, which contributes to natural resource depletion.
They also generate an immense amount of waste, which can strain local waste management systems and contribute to landfill pollution.
Travel, energy use, and logistics for events lead to greenhouse emissions, which has a detrimental impact on climate change.
However, there are many reasons why, as an industry, we may not be doing more to prioritise sustainability in events.
