Corporate Social Responsibility – or CSR – is more than just a buzzword. It is a business practice that incorporates sustainable development into a company’s business model, encouraging businesses to have a positive impact on social, economic and environmental factors.
Here are some tips to consider to incorporate Sustainable CSR into your next event:
-
Have clearly marked recycling bins located near trash bins.
-
Provide convenient drop-off points for all unwanted handouts and accessories (like plastic name badge holders).
-
Use electronic communications when possible rather than printing.
-
Use cloth napkins or napkins made of 80% or more recycled materials.
-
Provide water stations vs water bottles.
-
Use locally sourced food and products from local farmers and businesses.
