Sustainability consultancy From Now has launched ‘The Sustainable Events Community’, a new hub that strives to make the events industry more sustainable.
Commenting on the news, co-founder Saskya Liney (pictured), said: “The typical event attendee produces 1.89kg of waste per day, 85% of which can be landfill, depending on where and what type of event it is. And a recent report by the Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) and Cvent indicates that although many people cite sustainability as a priority, our industry still isn’t taking solid action. Many of us want to do more but may not know how to – and small differences can make a big impact.
“With that in mind, we’ve launched The Sustainable Events Community. A hub where you can get access to all the latest venues, suppliers, news, tips and sustainability insights shaping the future of events”.
