GL EVENTS IS DEDICATED TO SUSTAINABILITY

With ever-growing concerns of climate change, how can organizations involved in large events like the Olympics reduce negative environmental impact to create a positive legacy for the future?

The influence of large sports events is an opportunity to improve the world and be a catalyst for change. GL Events is a proud leader in sustainability and is dedicated to creating the best events for clients, their guests, and the environment. Mostly recently, they launched a cross-industry research project to understand how sustainability factors in on businesses’ decision-making, especially when it comes to event management. To emphasize the importance of sustainability for corporations, GL Events offers a reminder of how it can benefit your business:

How Sustainability Works in Your Business’s Favor

Improved Brand Image: By being a part of the community, companies are viewed favorably by clients and potential clients. This offers a competitive advantage.

Long-term Cost Reduction: Energy efficiency, equipment maintenance, and streamlining processes reduce cost over time.

Employee Engagement: Corporate responsibility is linked to talent retention and employees are ambassadors for your brand.

A Chance to Innovate: Socially responsive acts create a chance to create something new or improve current products or business practices.

Investment Capital: Increasingly more money is being invested in companies perceived to be sustainable.
