The Climate-Positive Framework for Event Sustainability

Featured Image

The events industry is hyper-focused on sustainability. Effective sustainability efforts require a multitiered, multifaceted approach to move the needle.

 

As the teams at Opus Agency work to implement sustainability strategies for ourselves and our clients, we developed a new framework for approaching event sustainability for the next five years — an initiative we’re calling O+. We created O+ to provide event marketers with an ESG-supported strategy to encourage circularity and improve our industry’s impact on the planet.

 

From net-neutral to net-positive, this new framework outlines a new approach to business ethics, circular design, and climate positivity and identifies key differences between conventional and modern sustainability goals.

 

So, how do event professionals get to O+, and what does it look like in action? Let’s dive in.

 

P.S. Speaking of regeneration, did you notice our new newsletter format?
