How it works

Set before the event how waste, catering, displacement, materials and accessibility will be resolved, and then check what happened.

It places people, communities and other living beings in the center, caring for health, safety, dignity, culture, accessibility and quality of experience.

When does it make sense?

  • Since the definition of objectives and with participation of those who will be affected
  • Where benefits, burdens and possible exclusions can be identified
  • With qualitative and quantitative indicators provided and respectful of privacy

How to apply it

  1. 1

    Defining what needs solves "events with sustainability criteria" and establishing a starting position.

  2. 2

    Compare alternatives and adapt design to climate, use, regulation, affected people and available resources.

  3. 3

    Apply with clear responsibilities, check the actual result and correct unwanted effects.

Potential benefits

More health and welfare

Increased inclusion and membership

Lasting social and economic value

Limitations and precautions

  • A punctual event leaves little organizational footprint: without a sheet or reusable checklist, each edition starts again.
  • Well-being cannot be reduced to a single metric or imposed without listening to people.
  • Partnerships with productivity or economic value should be measured without promising automatic causality.
