For busy event professionals ready to take sustainability seriously.
Sustainability now appears in most event RFPs. Current industry insight suggests that around 62% of RFPs include sustainability requirements, yet those requirements are often vague.
Questions like:
- Do you have a sustainability policy?
- Are you accredited?
- Do you meet our sustainability standards?
are increasingly common. But they don’t always translate into what event teams actually need in order to deliver an event, measure its impact, or meet client and stakeholder expectations.
Whilst an event supplier may be strong on sustainability at a company level, that doesn’t automatically mean
- You’ll have actionable emissions data for your event
- Measurement will align with reporting needs
- Information will be consistent and comparable across events or suppliers
- You’ll generate insights that support real design and procurement decisions
For event professionals, this creates a practical problem. Asking about sustainability capability is not the same as requesting the specific data and support your event requires.
This checklist is designed for teams who need to move from sustainability intent to consistent delivery and credible data, without adding unnecessary complexity to already busy workflows.
