Last Friday I ventured down to #chicagoboothuniversitylondon for the #sustainableeventsshow featuring seminars from leading figures offering their expert opinion and guidance on a host of insightful topics including ‘carbon offsets - genuine aid or greenwashing’, ‘the carbon footprint of conferences - can events truly be sustainable’, ‘should the event industry give a XXXX about carbon reporting legislation’ and ‘S is for ESG, what of the social element of sustainability’ to name a few. It was great to connect and hear talks from various speakers including Camilla Marcus-Dew - Passionate about Good Business 🌈 , Meg Strahle , Matt Grey, Gabrielle Austen-Browne FRSA (she/her) and to also meet some interesting suppliers such as #worldofzing and their range of fully recyclable 70cl cocktail bottles. There is so much opportunity for the events industry and specifically Sleek Events to create some ripples of positive change. It’s not a quick fix, but gradual changes over time. #sustainability #sustainablefuture #sustainableevents #eventprofs #events #sleekevents #ESG #environment #socialimpact #governance
