Sustainable, green events are no longer a bonus – they are a baseline. From PR media events to bulk product sampling, today’s audiences, sponsors, and cities expect events to tread lightly on the planet while delivering maximum impact. But creating a truly sustainable special event isn’t just about reusable cups and compost bins – it starts at the permit desk.

That’s where EventPermits comes in.

With decades of experience navigating city regulations, environmental compliance, and logistical complexity, EventPermits is your strategic partner in planning sustainable special events that check every box – including the green ones.

Why Sustainability Matters in Special Events

Special events are high-visibility, high-impact gatherings. Without proper planning, they can generate massive amounts of waste, disrupt local communities, and leave behind a carbon footprint that overshadows even the biggest stages.

But with the right approach, events can:

  • Minimize landfill waste and emissions
  • Promote sustainable transportation
  • Support local and ethical vendors
  • Inspire eco-conscious behavior among attendees

The key? Starting the sustainability thought process early in the permitting phase is where impactful decisions are made.

Permitting Is the Gateway to Green Events

Permits are not just formalities; they dictate how an event functions. When sustainability is built into your permitting strategy, everything from vendor selection to waste disposal improves. EventPermits specializes in this holistic approach.

Quick Tips to create a sustainable event:

  • Opt for eco-conscious vendors and venues
  • Lower carbon emissions with public transportation and carpooling
  • Go digital where possible
  • Choose sustainable event elements / upcycle
  • Align sustainability efforts with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
