Swindon event management agency supports business sustainability

Venues and Events International has received Greengage ECOsmart accreditation.

The Greengage Travel & Event Solutions' ECOsmart accreditation is given to agents, hotels, conference venues and agencies that can demonstrate what the organisation deem 'an environmentally conscious approach.'

 

As of June 2021, Swindon-based Venues and Events International, has been officially awarded the Greengage ECOsmart accreditation following the successful ECOsmart audit and a full sustainability report.

 

Anita Lowe, CEO of Venues and Events International, said: "We have more than 30 years of working experience, and sustainability has always been such an important subject for our business, and for our clients events.

 

"We are concerned about the future of our planet, so we incorporate the green thinking principle into everything we do."

 

To enhance their sustainability offering, Venues and Events International said they have begun an ECOsmart audit to determine what sustainable measures the agency already had in place and what improvements could be made.

 

Kim Cavilla, Chief Operating Officer, said: "As a business, we have a Sustainability Committee dedicated to promoting green initiatives both internally and to our clients. We run regular sustainability awareness training sessions for our team in order to ensure that our client's events are as sustainable as possible.

 

"Choosing the right venue that prioritises sustainable food and beverage procurement, such as local organic suppliers, while also providing good public transport access, is already making a big difference for our planet."

 

The Swindon based venue finding and event management agency said it has been sharing its plans with its clients and providing them with ideas for planning more eco-friendly meetings and events.

 

Andrew Perolls, CEO of Greengage, said: “It’s been a great process working with Venues and Events International on their sustainability processes,” said Andrew Perolls, CEO of Greengage. “The team are clearly dedicated to their sustainability initiatives, and this is evident through the events they already manage. What we have done, is assessed their processes to ensure they continue to enhance and add value to their service offering.”

 

Anita Lowe added: "We are proud to have the Greengage ECOsmart accreditation that reflects our commitment to sustainability and how much effort we've been putting into this initiative.

 

"Sustainability has always played a part of our event service delivery. However, with this accreditation, we can assure our clients that they will have not only exceptional events, but also events that are as environmentally friendly as possible."
