Sustainability has been a topic in the business events industry for decades, however past efforts have been slow and varied industry-wide. Today, more organisations are aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), pursuing circular economy models for their businesses and products, and taking greater action toward net-zero carbon emissions. Yet the deadline of 2030 to take climate action and have even a reasonable chance of limiting global heating to 1.5°C is nearing and time is running out. Now, with the devastation caused to the industry due to Covid-19, there is greater business and consumer awareness of sustainability and urgency for the business events industry to act is further heightened.
PCMA Foundation, in partnership with Singapore Tourism Board, initiated research on The Time is Now – Sustainability in Business Events Industry to illustrate the next-level actions the business event industry must take collectively to scale progress.
