Editor's Notes
- Why produce a Sector Supplement for the Events Sector?There are many varied specific sustainability challenges related to the events sector. Large events often attract crowds from different regions of the world. It is a major challenge to keep the CO2 emissions produced by travelling to and from an event as low as possible. Other challenges facing the sector can include the development of infrastructure which have their own associated impacts such as loss of biodiversity and the health and safety of workers. Local communities and neighbourhoods can also be affected by the proximity of an event. While the sustainability impacts for the sector may be known, reporting on these impacts is at a nascent stage within the events industry.At the same time, stakeholders such as industry associations, journalists, local authorities, investors, and visitors are no longer content to stand by - they are demanding more information on the sustainability credentials of the events they attend. As such, it is hoped that this new guidance with not only provide guidance to report preparers and facilitate the standardization of sustainability reports in the sector but also drive reporting by the sector.
- The process for developing a SS can essentially be split into the following phases:Project Initiation (this can take different periods of time)Project Implementation phase 1 (1 year, drafting of the indicators)Project Implementation phase 2 (1year, writing of the indicator protocols)The output of the project is a finalized piece of sector specific sustainability reporting guidanceThe outcome of the project (not shown) is the reporting by companies in the sector using this guidance.
