Sustainability Benidorm DMC

A sustainable event can be defined as an event with a balanced approach to economic activity, environmental responsibility and social progress. It is one that helps to reduce its own impact on the environment.

There is an increasing need to integrate sustainable and environmental practices into events.

A first step will be to integrate these sustainable practices and develop a sustainability plan through the implementation of new sustainable processes and policies.

The concept of sustainable event is very broad and can or should also incorporate fair labour practices, socially sustainable purchasing or contribution to the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of the organisation.

From Benidorm DMC we would like to offer some tips on sustainability, which can be, depending on the supplier, the following:
