Integrating eco-responsibility into an event is a solution that is increasingly appealing today. Offering events that combine sustainability with the ephemeral is indeed a significant asset for local authorities or associations. But this cannot be done haphazardly. We will explain everything to you.
A look back at eco-friendly event planning
The origins of eco-friendly events can be traced back to 2006. It was at this time that many event organizations signed the Charter of professional associations for sustainable development, aiming to reduce the ecological footprint of the events organized. In 2012, shortly before the Olympic Games in London, a standard was published: the international certifiable management standard or ISO 20121. This standard aims to promote sustainable development integrated into event activities. Therefore, the focus will be on highlighting a responsible and transparent policy in order to control the environmental and social impacts related to the event.
Why opt for an eco-friendly event?
An event brings many economic benefits, but it also has a large environmental footprint, especially when held outdoors. It indeed degrades the biodiversity of the site where they take place. A large amount of waste is therefore expected. It is estimated that 5,000 people attending an event will produce 2.5 tons of waste. They consume 1,000 kWh and 500 kg of paper. Furthermore, the passage of many people and the noise pollution generated can endanger the animals and plants present. One must also consider the means of transport to reach the event, which emit pollution (plane, car, bus…).
When infrastructure is poorly planned, it can also cause environmental nuisances.
To best preserve nature, it may therefore become essential to think about eco-friendly event planning.
The eco-friendly event, an original idea
Setting up an eco-friendly event is, above all, a process of social and environmental responsibility. And it is a competitive advantage, as it enhances the event in the eyes of the public, participants, and partners. Participants will then become actors in sustainable development.
It also means giving yourself every chance to obtain subsidies from local authorities who are increasingly attentive to the impact of proposed events.
Proposing a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) event is also interesting for better budget control. The goal is to achieve energy savings and thus consume fewer resources.
To organize this eco-friendly event, several choices must be made in advance. First and foremost, it will be necessary to choose the venue for the event. This venue must limit the use of resources and be easily accessible by transport.
It will also be important to choose service providers carefully. Local providers are a very good solution to effectively reduce the impact of transport.
Waste management is also an important point. It is necessary to know how to best manage it before, during, and after the event. You can thus install selective sorting bins.
To inform the public about your event, it will also be essential to find a balance between paper and digital. You can opt for recycled paper.
Choosing a suitable event
If you wish to propose an eco-friendly event, you can contact an artistic agency concerned with the protection of the planet. Eklabul is an agency located near Cannes and offers you many environmentally conscious animations in the PACA region.
Whether you want to offer a magical Christmas show or a circus animation, you can find the perfect solution to offer spectators an exceptional event without forgetting to protect the planet as best as possible. With high-end performances, you can offer exceptional animations without neglecting nature. You can thus choose, to animate your events, neighborhood animations, parades, inaugurations, or festivities, a quality show whose effects will be beneficial to the protection of nature. When we set up our animations, we have thought about the effects they could have on the environment. When we set up the spaces where they take place, we prioritize installations that protect the environment as best as possible.
And do not worry. The performances presented will surely please the spectators. Whether it is a fabulous show or cabaret, an aerial silk act, jugglers, or acrobatics, everything is done to offer a fascinating and eco-friendly show. We can even propose, to honor your association or your local authority, an act that we are the only ones to perform in Europe: AtmO2pshere. These bubbles enclose an artist twirling as much on land as in water or in the air. The effect is magical and will surprise spectators in the most beautiful way without harming the environment.
With our agency, you will have many animations that can easily be integrated into an eco-friendly event. Do not hesitate to call upon Eklabul to prepare high-end animations that will leave a fabulous memory.
