World Environment DAY 🌍: Awareness is not enough. You need to first know where you stand in order to take your next steps
Awareness is not enough.
You need to first know where you stand in order to take your next steps.
World Environment Day offers us a moment to reflect on the environmental challenges we face. For the events sector, the next step is clear: moving from awareness to action.That starts with understanding our impact.

The Challenge
Most organisations don’t know where they stand regarding sustainability, let alone what they can do about it. Events are complex systems. From energy and transport to food, waste, and water, environmental and social impacts are interconnected and can be difficult to measure clearly. And without clarity, it’s hard to know where to focus efforts. But the way forward is actually quite simple.

The Solution
What can you do? Increasing plant-based food and eliminating red meat from menus is a quick and easy way to slash your event’s environmental impact.
For a deeper understanding of your impact, AGF’s Sustainability Diagnosis provides a structured, practical way to assess your event’s current performance. Based on the AGF Certification Framework, it combines carbon footprint analysis with a wider review of environmental and social impacts.
WHAT DO YOU GET?
👉 Carbon footprint analysis
👉 Independent review across key impact areas
👉 Expert feedback from AGF consultants
👉 Clear recommendations for improvement
👉 Potential pathway towards certification
WHY THIS MATTERS?
The diagnosis creates a foundation for strategic planning, helping organisations prioritise actions and make informed decisions.
It’s often the first step towards achieving AGF Certification and long-term sustainability goals.
If you’re looking to better understand your impact and how to improve, we can help. 👇
CASE STUDY
Festival technology supplier and AGF member, NVENTS, completed their sustainability diagnosis and carbon footprint this year. The detailed assessment and associated recommendations has given them clear guidance to further improve their environmental actions.
"As NVENTS is a young company, going through a period of rapid growth, it's easy to lose sight of the bigger picture, and the impact our business and industry has. Working with AGF, we tried to embed sustainable practices into our processes from the outset. Most importantly, we set up a framework to ensure we capture the right data points to inform how we continue improving our actions in the future."
Paul Nicholls, Director NVENTS.
World Environment Day is a reminder that action matters.
For events, that action starts with understanding impact and making informed decisions for the future.
