• Keep it digital where you can – electronic invitations, registration, follow ups etc.
• Use vegetable based inks, lightest possible weight paper and materials from recycled sources.

• Vegetarian and vegan options are more environmentally friendly and often tend to be cheaper, so make sure to incorporate some meat free options into your menu.

• Choose ethical, eco and fair trade options.
• Select local catering companies that have environmental credentials.

• Choose an event venue that has an environmental certification.
