Lux Events Sustainability Policy

October 2024

We are committed to minimising the impact of our activities on the environment and in order to make an event sustainable, we consider various aspects of the planning and execution.  Below are the key points of our strategy to achieve this.

Choose a sustainable venue

We select venues that aligns with sustainable practices. We look for venues with green certifications, renewable energy sources, or those that actively support sustainability initiatives.

Reduce waste

We minimise waste generation by implementing practices such as using digital invitations instead of paper, providing recycling stations throughout the event area, and encouraging attendees to bring reusable water bottles or coffee cups.

Source sustainable materials

We opt for sustainable and recyclable materials for event signage, banners, and promotional materials. We choose eco-friendly and biodegradable options for food packaging, utensils, and containers where possible.

Sustainable transportation

We encourage attendees to use public transportation, carpooling, or cycling to reach the event. We offer incentives for eco-friendly transportation methods, such as providing bicycle racks and public transportation information.

Energy conservation

Our AV partners use energy-efficient lighting and equipment throughout the event. We use natural lighting when possible, and remind attendees and suppliers to turn off lights and equipment when not in use.

Responsible catering

We choose local, organic, and seasonal food options to support sustainable agriculture. We minimise food waste by accurately estimating the number of attendees and donating excess food to local organisations.

Water conservation

We promote water-saving practices, such as providing water stations instead of individual bottled water.

Engage with sustainable suppliers

We collaborate with vendors and suppliers who share our commitment to sustainability. We choose businesses that use eco-friendly practices, locally sourced products, and sustainable packaging.

Educate and engage attendees

Where appropriate, we raise awareness about sustainability by incorporating educational activities and initiatives into the event. This could be via workshops, panel discussions, or interactive displays that promote sustainable living and practices.

Measure and communicate impact

We have recently started working with Event: Decision to help us monitor and track our event’s environmental impact so we can make recommendations for improvements.  We can then share this information with all stakeholders to highlight the event's sustainability achievements.
