Green
Events - Planet Friendly,
People Friendly Events
At The Conference People we have high expectations for environmental
management and human rights in the workplace in essence this means treating
people fairly and preserving the environment. As a responsible company,
our duties extend globally towards people, the environment and society.
This is how we aim to build a sustainable company and, just as importantly,
manage sustainable events. We ask our clients and suppliers to join us
in the efforts.
We are working closely on these issues and our aim is to raise awareness
of these responsibilities. Here are a few examples of how your next event
could be a success for your business, the environment and of course,
your people.
What is a Green Event?
Broad guidelines for a greener event
are that it should be organised electronically, minimise carbon emissions
for travelling delegates and speakers, save energy, practice recycling,
and adopt environmentally-thoughtful measures wherever practical and
possible.
Online Registration
Our online Delegate Management System provides a total paperless, planet
friendly system. Delegates register online and receive all communication
from our organising office electronically, including maps, directions
and final joining instructions.
For those delegates unable to access a PC we can offer a fax back system
or a registration using recycled paper.
Green Venues
Choose hotels and other venues where environmental responsibility is
top-down policy. Our constantly updated database of venues contains
over 35,000 suitable venues worldwide and, whilst our search remains
independent, we are aware of the greenest venues so we can match the
right venue for your meeting.
You could even Stage an event in a venue
which implicitly expresses your identification with green concerns.
One
example might be Kew Gardens because of its work for the
conservation and preservation of plants; another might be the London
Wetland Centre at Barnes.
The ‘Reds Go Green’ initiative by Manchester
United (their Old Trafford stadium features meeting rooms and corporate hospitality
suites) includes: match day waste management; glass recycling; the re-use
of old tyres and sports shoes for all-weather pitches; and wildlife conservation
and environmental education at their training ground in Cheshire.
