Sustainable Events Management Guide, designed
conferences, conventions, sports and other events.
organizing a conference or event, and provide a
environmental or fair-trade products in Sherbrooke.
Destination Sherbrooke has published this
specially for the organizers of meetings,
We propose actions that should be part of
directory of suppliers that offer recycled,
Moreso, please note that in Quebec, if you want to create an event that respects the principles of
sustainable development, an exhaustive definition that is recognized by both the industry and the
general public in Quebec is available. A new standard has been created, following international ISO
rules, by the Bureau de normalisation du Québec (BNQ). The BNQ 9700-253 standard Gestion
responsable d’événements is a reference document that specifies the requirements in sustainable
event management. This standard is also coupled with a 5 levels certification program offered by the
BNQ.

Why organize an environmentally responsible event?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
To be efficient and responsible in the use and exploitation of resources;
To reduce the event’s operating costs;
To save time;
To reduce greenhouse gas emissions;
To reduce waste at the source;
To participate in a social project designed to improve our quality of life;
To receive long-term benefits that will help future generations;
To adopt a different organizational approach that draws primarily on local suppliers of goods
and services;
To create novel ideas including social and ethical aspects of sustainable development.
This guide follows the reduce-reuse-recycle-reclaim principle, calling on society to
rethink its approach to consumption. To abide by the principle, the quantity and
variety of materials used in organizing an event must be reduced; waste must be
intentionally sorted; and interesting approaches to recycling and waste reclamation
must be adopted.
1
In order of priority, it is preferable to:
•
•
•
•
Reduce at source: A coffee mug rather than a Styrofoam cup, car pooling, printing
on both sides of paper, use of e-mail, etc.
Reuse: Use the backs of paper printed only on one side, recover name tags and use
them again at the next event, etc.
Recycle: Recovered and recycled plastic is converted into polar fleece clothing, etc.
Reclaim: Organic waste is composted and used to fertilize the soil in flower beds, etc.
Organize an environmentally responsible event…
A small step together for a better world!
2
ENVIRONMENTAL STEPS FOR EACH COMITTEE
(tips and advice)
Before the event
•
•
•
Write and communicate a policy expressing the organizers’ commitment to hold a
sustainable event;
Determine your environmental goals, such as zero waste, zero carbon emissions, etc.;
Encourage all people involved in organizing the event to apply responsible management
principles, including the organizers, partners, on-site employees and subcontractors,
participants, exhibitors, etc.
After the event

Organizing committee
•
•
•
•
•
Use both sides of paper.
Use post-consumer recycled paper and refillable pencils.
Recycle ink cartridges and batteries.
Favour video and teleconferencing over meetings in person. This saves time and money, and
avoids producing greenhouse gases through motorized travel.
Favour electronic exchanges.
Event site and accommodations
•
•
•
•
•
•
4
For a convention, try to organize all activities in the same hotel.
For a larger convention or one not located in a hotel, try to choose accommodations that are
close to the event’s main activities.
For a sports event, choose accommodations that are close to the main site.
Try to use accommodations close to public transit or a shuttle service, if applicable.
Favour establishments that have a sustainable management policy.
Ensure that recycling bins are located in each accommodation room, conference room and
each area where the event’s activities will be held.
Meals, banquets
•

•
•
•
•
•

Choose a local caterer that has sustainable development policies and practices, and that

Favour the use of local, organic, fair-trade and in-season products.

outdoor activities, for example) over disposable dishes.
Surprise participants by replacing dishes with food: a piece of pasta as a coffee stir stick, for
example, and a leaf of lettuce or cabbage instead of a plate.
Try to limit the amount of packaging.
Favour cloth napkins and tablecloths. If this isn’t possible, choose unbleached tablecloths
and limit napkins to one per person.
Serve water in pitchers, large bottles or from water machines located throughout the event
site, rather than in individual-sized bottles. An alternative is to give one reusable bottle of
water to each participant.
Instead of meal tickets use vegetable-based ink rubber stamps.

Make participants aware of the importance of respecting sustainable management measures,
through an information booth, a special team, signs, etc.
Give participants the opportunity to pay online.
Recommend that participants print only what is necessary and bring a notebook and pencil.
Print a smaller number of documents in each language rather than a larger number of longer
bilingual or multilingual versions.
Use the postcards offered by Destination Sherbrooke rather than invitation letters and
envelopes.
Calculate the exact number of printed copies required, which will reduce printing,
transportation and mailing costs.
Use post-consumer recycled paper.
Print on both sides.

Inform the media of the organization’s goals and efforts to protect the environment. Highlight
original ideas and promote the partners that are helping make them a reality.

to landfill, the percentage of local purchases, and the event’s approach to preventing
greenhouse gas emissions.

Provide conference minutes and notes on the Web site or e-mail them upon request.

•
•
•
Suggest sustainable tours, such as bike rides, hikes, nature and environmental attractions,
and places that adopt environmentally responsible measures.
Favour public transit, shuttles and car pooling.
