How Can Events Be More Environment Friendly? Restart 2021 Tells You All You Need to Know!

Corporate Social Responsibility has become a key issue with all businesses and industries, with the public becoming more and more aware of topics like sustainability and the environment. “Go Green” had become the motto of almost every industry on the horizon. This brought about a virtual revolution in the event industry. Especially with Covid-19 hitting the world hard, every event managing company is now ‘pivoting’ towards virtual events. The year has brought on the rise of virtual events front and center.

Restart 2021 Shows the Way

Restart 2021, an experiential digital event by Hubilo, an online hybrid event platform, will present to you prominent professionals from the event and marketing industry speaking to you about becoming more sustainable and ‘Go Green.' Virtual, hybrid or experiential events are a boon to the environment. Have you ever imagined the carbon footprint a person leaves at an in-person event? This can be almost completely avoided by making the switch from in-person events to digital events.

Apart from this, the environment is also harmed by air travel, ground transportation, hotel energy, and venue energy. This, in turn, means that virtual events allow you to access the event without contributing to any environmental harm or energy waste.

Your event can also become more sustainable for the environment by cutting out on plastic and paper. Everybody knows the harm plastic is still inflicting on our environment, and they are practically impossible to restrict in an in-person event where thousands of people gather. Digital or experiential events cut the cost of plastic and paper, not only on your pocket but also on mother nature. Instead of using paper for heaps of printed material, online platforms and mobile applications can reach the audience to give information about the event and at the event.

The next way to save the environment is also a great way to restrict the wastage of food and can be a kind and noble step when it comes to solving the world’s hunger problem. Providing catering for an event not only leads to a huge amount of food being wasted, but studies have also shown that catering leads to a lot of transportation emissions which are lethal to our environment. Locally produced food cuts transportation emissions and helps in saving the environment just a little bit more. Also, imagine the amount of waste generated in the form of plastic bottles and cans from an in-person event.

The most important step in going eco-friendly with your event is hiring the right partners and choose the right platform that shares the same ethos. Make sure you choose a partner for your event that has as much of a concern about the environment as you do, and that will make a lot of difference.

In Conclusion

For a large event, the consequences on the environment can be significant, and measures need to be taken to avoid them. When it comes to our planet, everyone has a role to play. Attend Restart 2021 and understand the steps necessary to make our Earth a little cleaner and greener.
