Sustainable Procurement and Supply Chain Sustainability
For most event organisations, the majority of environmental impact doesn't sit within the organisation itself, it sits in the supply chain. The stand builders, caterers, logistics providers, AV suppliers, and print companies that make your events happen collectively determine a large part of your total footprint.
Sustainable procurement is the discipline of managing that. It means knowing what your suppliers' sustainability credentials actually are, setting expectations clearly, and building those expectations into how you commission work.

Why Supply Chain Sustainability Matters Now
Clients with their own ESG commitments are increasingly scrutinising the supply chains of the agencies and suppliers they work with. Under Scope 3 emissions reporting, your clients' emissions include your emissions - making your sustainability credentials directly relevant to their compliance.
Getting your sustainable procurement framework right is no longer just about doing the right thing. It is about remaining a viable supplier to the clients who take sustainability seriously.
