Sustainability
Sustainability isn't a box to check — it's a responsibility we take seriously. We partner with Earthcheck and Essential Costa Rica to honestly assess and reduce the environmental impact of our events, and as a founding partner of the Net Zero Carbon Events Roadmap, ICCA is committed to helping the global events industry reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. We also believe true sustainability means nurturing the industry itself — fostering growth through education, knowledge sharing, progressive policy, and job creation that lasts.
Sustainability also means making a commitment to the health and well-being of our industry by advocating for sustainable growth through education, knowledge transfer, policy changes, and job creation.
ICCA is built on sharing knowledge and building trust, and this helps us frame our sustainability proposition. We recognise some countries and communities are further down the road to sustainability than others, but we believe we can inspire members to develop their own sustainable best practices and show the positive and lasting effects their events can bring to their community and brand profile.
The UNSDG’s give us all a common benchmark. ICCA understands what our industry needs to do to change perceptions and take the initiative to change the way we work.
