Green is the new black as Corporate Social Responsibility tops everybody's agenda. It's our paramount priority too which is why we take every opportunity to ensure all elements of your event are CSR proof.

Transport: Encourage your delegates to take public transport to the event by offering to refund their train or bus tickets.

Recycle: Think before you print all those reams of conference material. Can name badges, folders, labels and other stationery be saved and re-used another time? Can unwanted papers and brochures be donated to schools or charities? Better still, upload all your conference material on a USB stick or if you must print, then make sure you use recycled paper. We can help you manage conference waste in a better way.

Source: Choose your catering and giveaways wisely. Think Fairtrade, local, organic, in season when it comes to refreshments, use filtered instead of bottled water, and ensure your delegate bags and giveaways are from sustainable and ethical sources. Go for green venues that have already embraced environmental issues – we've got quite a few on our books.

Budget with a conscience – Allocate some of your budget to offsetting carbon emissions from your event. Make a tangible contribution to society by making a donation to a favourite charity or get your delegates involved in a local environmental project as part of their team building exercise.
