HOW CONSERV ALIGNS WITH GLOBAL SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES

Sustainability in events isn’t just about swapping paper for pixels or cutting back on plastic cups. It’s about a strategic, values-driven approach that aligns every aspect of event production with broader goals social, environmental, and economic.

That’s why ConSERV aligns our operations with the Events Industry Council’s (EIC) Principles for Sustainable Events a framework built around the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Here’s how we bring these global principles to life at every event we power.

The Big Picture: What Is Event Sustainability?

According to the EIC, event sustainability is:

“The process of integrating environmental responsibility, social equity, and economic efficiency into event planning, management, and delivery.”

At ConSERV, we translate that into measurable action, from reducing energy use and waste to ensuring inclusivity and supporting local economies. The 8 Core Principles and How We Deliver on Them

1. Event Organiser and Supplier Responsibility

Sustainability is a shared responsibility. We don’t just deliver AV we consult, educate, and collaborate with venues, clients, and suppliers to ensure sustainable practices are embedded from the first site visit to the last cable packed.

2. Environmental Stewardship

We’ve reduced our carbon emissions by 59.7% since 2023, with clear goals to reach net-zero by 2030.Our green actions include:

• LED-only lighting

• Electric vehicle fleet (33% electric)

• Solar energy at our HQ (installing Q2 2025)

• Zero landfill waste with certified recycling partners

3. Social Responsibility

Events are for people, all people.We support diversity and inclusion through equitable hiring and work closely with venues to ensure accessible, inclusive AV solutions.

4. Ethical Practice

We adhere to ISO 9001, 14001, and 45001 standards and are on track to become Ireland’s first B Corp-certified AV provider by end of 2025 proving our commitment to transparency, fairness, and integrity.

5. Legacy

Great events leave a positive footprint.We support long-term impact through:

• Donating usable materials

• Encouraging community engagement

• Providing post-event sustainability data to clients

6. Collaboration and Stakeholder Engagement

We don’t work in silos.Our rebate programs and AV infrastructure investments are designed to benefit venue partners, clients, and communities building sustainable ecosystems, not just setups.

7. Measurement and Reporting

If it’s not measured, it’s not managed.We provide:

• Emissions data per event

• Equipment efficiency tracking

• Custom sustainability reports tailored to your KPIs

8. Continual Improvement

We audit. We train. We improve.From staff education to system upgrades, we evolve with sustainability standards and emerging technologies.

Why This Matters

By aligning with these global principles, we help event organisers meet their own sustainability mandates whether you're reporting to leadership, aligning with ESG frameworks, or simply doing the right thing.

As the EIC framework gains adoption across venues, clients, and government bodies, having a partner like CONSERV gives you a clear advantage in delivering responsible, resilient, and remarkable events.
