CSR and The Concerto Group

eventwise is using the BS8901 standard as a guide to making their event management system more sustainable. This includes working with all their stakeholders including suppliers, venues and their own event team to ensure that sustainable events are being planned and implemented and that relevant improvements are being made.

eventwise understands that CSR is becoming an increasingly important aspect of event organisation, especially as a response to clients requirements that their own CSR policies are adhered to in the events that they are organising.

The BS8901 British Standards definition:

“an enduring, balanced approach to economic activity, environmental responsibility and social progress”.

The Concerto Group has a Green committee which meets quartlery to review events and decide on a suitatable path for future planning and implementation of sustainability at events and for the group in general.

our own current commitment to sustainable event management:

1. We recycle all our paper, cardboard, cartridges, glass and plastic
2. All our marketing literature is from a sustainable source – The Forestry Stewardship Council.
3. We use energy efficient light bulbs and ensure we are energy efficient with all electrical appliances.
4. We, together with our parent company The Concerto Group raise money for a nominated charity on an annual basis through The Concerto Challenge.
