Nowadays, there really isn’t an excuse not to go green when planning an event. Thanks to the availability and affordability of energy-saving and innovative technology, there is now a way to make every part of your event eco-friendly.
Along with waste management, power is one of the biggest areas in which you can make ‘greener’ improvements. Every event needs power, for lighting, sound equipment, catering and heating, and in some festivals the temporary power demands can be huge.
If you have a commitment to sustainability – and many festivals and other public events make eco-friendliness a key selling point – you should be looking to choose a cleaner, greener provider of power for your event.
How to go green when choosing a power supplier
When selecting a company to work with, look for one which:
- Has worked on eco-friendly events (i.e. ones known for their green commitment) before
- Has clear goals for going greener, and reaches them! For example, The Powerline has a three year plan to become completely carbon neutral, including everything from the fuel used for generators to the day-to-day running of the company
- Offsets its emissions, recycles at its HQ and premises and has numerous eco-friendly schemes running.
If you’re clear in exactly what you want from your energy provider and only select companies like The Powerline with a commitment to sustainability, you should be able to find a partner that understands and delivers a fantastic eco-friendly power solution for your event.
