Sustainable Event Certification
A sustainable event represents wise stewardship of resources, prudent financial planning and environmentally responsible operations. It also inspires attendees to live more sustainably.
Showcase your organization’s commitment to sustainability by attaining a Sustainable Event Certification.
What makes an event sustainable?
Utilize the following resources to guide your organization to Sustainable Event Certification.
If you are hosting the event in person, consider hosting the event outdoors, in a LEED Certified campus building or in a naturally -lit indoor area.
- Ensure the event location is accessible and alternative transportation such as bus, bicycle, carpool or on foot is available.
Review event promotional materials and consider going all-digital and paperless.
- If using printed materials, post items in a centralized location to reduce waste.
- Include information about your event’s sustainable practices in your promotions
- For applicable promotional materials, exclude the date of the event so materials can be reused another year
- Examples include banners and tshirts.
Use Questions to Consider provided by the University Sustainability Office to make sustainability-conscious choices when evaluating purchases or rental options.
- Make a purposeful evaluation of vital and non-essential items for your event to reduce costs and waste.
- Borrow or rent necessary items such as tables and chairs from campus partners before purchasing new.
- Reduce event cost and waste by:
- Selecting reusable supplies that can be utilized for future events.
- Purchasing compostable supplies or materials made of recycled content.
- Purchasing supplies in bulk.
- Purchasing locally produced products.
If hosting a giveaway, utilize a service or consumable item in order to limit waste.
- Examples include coupons, tickets to an NC State event, gift certificates, plants or food.
- If your event requires t-shirts, choose shirts made locally from organic and/or recycled materials.
If your event is providing refreshments, provide a variety of food choices that are purchased locally.
- Consider a menu that accommodates vegetarian, vegan and allergen diets.
- Consider a menu that allows for guests to eat without the need of utensils and plates in order to reduce waste.
- Minimize food waste by making an excess food donation plan.
Evaluate your waste, compost and recycling needs with event resources from Zero Waste Events.
- Contact NC State Waste Reduction and Recycling to rent event clearstreams and purchase compostable supplies
- Enlist volunteers to ensure that event clearstreams are set up and used correctly.
- Provide clear signage for guests to know what is recyclable, compostable or landfill.
- Set zero waste goals, such as recycling or composting at least 90% of event waste.
- Communicate zero waste goals and expectations to event volunteers and attendees.
Spread the Word: Announce specific sustainability opportunities for event participants during the event and if applicable, place sustainability-related signs at clearly visible locations.
- Examples include promoting locally-sourced menu items or signs informing guests what items are compostable.
Offer Rewards: Incentivize sustainable actions at your event. Offer prizes, recognition online or at the event, or reduced registration fees for vendors and attendees that make sustainable contributions.
Reduce Event Waste: Utilize volunteers to ensure proper disposal of event waste. Provide volunteers with a reference guide on what can and can’t be recycled or composted.
Reduce Waste: Allow guests to take home excess food and donate the remaining items to a local nonprofit. Follow proper breakdown and return procedures of event clearstream bins.
Promote your Success: Spread the word about the success of your event’s zero waste and sustainability efforts on social media.
Evaluate Success: If evaluating your event, opt for an online survey rather than paper surveys.
Say Thanks, Sustainably: Show your appreciation to event attendees in a sustainable way. Send gift certificates, electronic or recycled thank you cards, plants or consumables as a way to say thank you.
How to Certify Your Event
step 1: Incorporate sustainability
Use the resources above to integrate sustainability before, during and after your event. The certification process uses a point-based system to evaluate the event based on your incorporation of sustainability practices. Certification is offered at the following levels:
- Contributor: 25-49% of total survey points
- Steward: 50-74% of total survey points
- Champion: 75% or more of total points
step 2: submit certification
Certify your event by completing the online certification form.
step 3: Promote Your achievement
Be sure to use the certification as a way to promote your event. Display your sustainable event certificate at the event and include it in press releases and/or media talking points.
