Sustainable actions we are committed to
Renewable Energy Events and all stakeholders will be engaged with, to encourage support across all areas of the show, to ensure we achieve an event with a lower carbon impact than ever before.
Sustainability at events is an all-encompassing approach and Low Carbon Agriculture will put in place a Sustainability Management System (SMS) to be as effective as possible, making sure we cover at a minimum all of the below areas.
Plus Renewable Energy Events are starting an initiative to plant trees in the UK to help conserve and protect our carbon store, therefore continuing to absorb emissions, as well as creating natural havens for wildlife and people.
Energy & Carbon
Review of all areas to reduce energy consumption and usage. And any energy used, wherever possible to use renewable energy sources

Ensure any materials used are sustainable, responsibly sourced or can be recycled. Ban the use of all single use plastic
Food & Drink
Request suppliers to use local produce and minimize waste
Water
Adopt water conservation measures to reinforce that it is respected as a precious resource
Transport
Encourage walking, cycling and the use of public transport or sharing car journeys to our event. Or the use of low carbon alternatives
