Mariela McIlwraith, VP Sustainability and Industry Advancement for the Events Industry Council (EIC) further adds that their 2019 State of Sustainability survey found that for the majority of event organisers, sustainability practices need to be either cost saving only (19%) or cost neutral/cost savings (51%). Mariela adds “Event organisers can track their savings online from sustainable practices and use these savings to invest in a sustainable practice that has a material impact and a wow factor.”
