Sustainability has become a priority in all aspects of our lives, and corporate events are no exception. More and more companies are recognising the importance of organising sustainable events that not only minimise environmental impact, but also reflect their values and commitments to social responsibility. In this post, we will explore how to incorporate sustainability into your corporate events through sustainable practices, waste reduction and the use of local suppliers. In addition, we will look at how Hotel Cándido and Finca los Jazmines are committed to sustainability in the organisation of events.

 

Sustainable practices

Implementing sustainable practices at your corporate events is essential to reduce environmental impact and promote a culture of eco-responsibility. Here are some ways to do this: Use digital technology: Replace paper with digital solutions for invitations, programmes and promotional materials. Use apps and online platforms for managing registrations, agendas and communications with attendees. Renewable energy: Choose venues that use renewable energy sources or have clear energy sustainability policies. Consider installing charging stations for electric vehicles. Sustainable transport: Encourage the use of public transport, car sharing and green transport options. Provide information on sustainable transport routes to attendees. Sustainable food: Offer menus that include vegetarian, vegan and seasonal options. Reduce the use of meat and dairy products to reduce the carbon footprint. Eco-friendly decorations: Use reusable or biodegradable decorations. Opt for live plants instead of cut flowers and choose recycled or recyclable materials.

Waste reduction

Waste reduction is a key component of sustainable events. Here are some strategies to minimise waste generated:  Elimination of Single-Use Plastics: Avoid the use of single-use plastics such as water bottles, disposable cutlery and plates. Opt for reusable or compostable alternatives. Green packaging: Use environmentally friendly packaging and minimise the use of packaging. Encourage suppliers to use sustainable packaging. Sustainable gifts: Choose gifts for attendees that are sustainable and useful, such as reusable water bottles, seeds for planting or products made from recycled materials.

3. Local suppliers

Supporting local suppliers not only reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting goods, but also boosts the local economy. Here are some ways to incorporate local suppliers into your events: Local Catering: Hire caterers that use local and seasonal ingredients. This not only guarantees freshness and quality, but also supports local farmers and producers. Localproducts and services: Choose local suppliers for all aspects of the event, from decorations to entertainment. This reduces the need for transport and supports community businesses. Promotion of local tourism: Offer attendees sustainable tourism options in the region, promoting visits to local attractions and environmentally friendly activities.
