Green Your Meetings with Sustainable Planning: Sustainability Conversations

Sustainable Planning – Don’ts and Dos –
Look to the Standards On: Communications

Don’t forget to communicate your sustainability policies, guidelines and objectives to appropriate personnel, suppliers and exhibitors.

Do make sure you prepare and distribute your written environmental policies to all your suppliers, and others, as required by the APEX/ASTM standards. The standards can be accessed at www.conventionindustry.org/StandardsPractices/APEXASTM/GettingAPEXASTM.aspx. If you read the standards, you’ll know what is expected, so you can communicate effectively with all appropriate entities.
