Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

Sustainable Planning – Don’ts and Dos – 
Look to the Standards on Event-Specific Criteria


Don’t create a new sustainability plan or policy for each event! Reinventing the wheel is a waste of time and effort. This is not required by the standards. Policies should be as standard and consistent as possible but you will need to address event-specific criteria.

Do prepare an event-specific memo that addresses all event-specific criteria to supplement and clarify your existing sustainable event policies. Use the standards to guide you, and they can be accessed at www.conventionindustry.org/StandardsPractices/APEXASTM/GettingAPEXASTM.aspx. If you read the standards, you’ll know what is expected, and you will be able prepare written event-specific objectives and criteria to meet the requirements.
