Sustainable Planning – Don’ts and Dos –
Look to the Standards On: Policies and Procedures
Don’t convene a green team for each event! If your sustainability checklist has this, run the other way! Planners don’t need the extra work of managing a committee to plan a sustainable event. This is not required by the standards.
Do comply with planner requirements of APEX/ASTM standards! Start by reading the planner requirements near the beginning of each of the 9 standards that can be accessed at www.conventionindustry.org/StandardsPractices/APEXASTM/GettingAPEXASTM.aspx. If you read the standards, you’ll know what is expected, so you can build or buy a set of policies and procedures to meet the requirements.
