Sustainable events

Sustainability with us

Experiential communication is unbeatable for creating engagement and strong relationships, both between people and with brands. 

At the same time, the events industry faces challenges such as travel, material consumption and waste. But we don't see this as an obstacle, but as an opportunity to change the industry from within.

How we make events sustainable

At Contrast, we actively work to integrate sustainability into every stage of event planning, from travel and transportation to material selection and waste management. By constantly improving our way of working and influencing our surroundings, we want to show that sustainable events are the future.

This is how we work:

• We work with suppliers who share our vision - we set sustainability requirements through a code of conduct for our suppliers and actively investigate how they work with sustainability.

• We help our customers make sustainable choices - we help customers choose the right destinations, means of transportation, material choices, food & drink and other sustainable options at events. With e.g. calculation of CO2 emissions, we make it easier to make decisions.

• We evaluate and reduce our own impact - we work on waste sorting, energy efficient solutions and reduce single-use items at our events.

• We set concrete targets for our sustainability work - for example, we plan to reduce our carbon footprint by 25% compared to 2022/2023.

For you as a customer, this means that you can rest assured that your event has a well-thought-out sustainability perspective - without us compromising on either quality or creativity!

Certification with Pure Act

We are certified by Pure Act. This ensures that our sustainability work is of a high standard. We use the digital tool Acture as part of our sustainability management system. Every year we submit a sustainability report where we present our efforts and identify areas for further improvement.

For you as a customer, certification means extra security - when you work with Contrast, you can be sure that sustainability is not just something we talk about, but something we actively work with.

The sustainability goals we aim for

Our sustainability work is linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. We focus in particular on three areas:

• Goal 8: Decent work and economic growth
  Contrast creates workplaces with good working conditions and a healthy working environment for both employees and partners. We also work for fair working conditions in our supply chain.

• Goal 12: Sustainable consumption and production
  We reduce waste, choose resource-efficient solutions and ensure that our purchases follow our sustainability policy. We also encourage our customers to make sustainable choices at events.

• Goal 13: Combat climate change
  We analyze our carbon footprint and actively work to reduce it through smarter logistics, sustainable travel and energy-efficient solutions.
