Responsible Events: Collaborating with Sustainable Partners

Sustainability is no longer an afterthought; it is a fundamental part of how we organize our events. We believe that impactful events should not only be inspiring but also responsible. That’s why we collaborate with strong sustainability partners who each contribute in their own way to a greener future. From sustainable catering and mobility to reducing food waste and using circular furniture – our partners help us make conscious choices and reduce the ecological footprint of our events.

Sustainable Dining with Coeur Catering

An event without food and drinks is unthinkable, but catering can have a significant environmental impact. Coeur Catering is committed to sustainability, using seasonal and locally sourced ingredients while carefully portioning meals to minimize food waste. Their approach ensures not only culinary excellence but also contributes to a more responsible food system.

Coeur Catering works closely with local farmers and suppliers to ensure that the ingredients used in their dishes are fresh, organic, and responsibly sourced. By prioritizing short food supply chains, they significantly reduce the carbon footprint associated with transportation and storage. Their menus are designed around the seasons, meaning that they offer different dishes throughout the year based on what is naturally available. This approach supports local agriculture and promotes biodiversity.

Beyond just the ingredients, Coeur Catering takes an eco-friendly approach to packaging and waste management. They avoid single-use plastics, opting instead for biodegradable and compostable alternatives. Their serving stations are also set up to encourage portion control, ensuring that attendees take only what they need, reducing excess food waste.

Electric Mobility with Polestar

Mobility plays a crucial role in the environmental impact of events. Thanks to our partnership with Polestar, a pioneer in electric vehicles, we offer a more sustainable transport alternative. By promoting 100% electric mobility, we reduce CO₂ emissions and encourage greener ways of getting around.

Polestar is at the forefront of sustainable transportation, developing electric cars that combine cutting-edge technology with sleek design. Their vehicles are not only emission-free but are also manufactured using sustainable materials and ethical labor practices. Unlike traditional automakers, Polestar is committed to complete transparency in its supply chain, ensuring that materials such as cobalt and lithium are sourced responsibly.

By incorporating Polestar vehicles into our event logistics, we actively contribute to lowering emissions associated with transportation. We encourage guests, staff, and speakers to opt for electric transport options by providing dedicated charging stations and incentives for those who choose to arrive in an electric vehicle. In doing so, we aim to set a precedent for how events can adopt sustainable mobility solutions.

Fighting Food Waste with Too Good To Go

Despite conscious choices in catering, food waste remains a challenge. That’s why we work with Too Good To Go, a platform that rescues surplus food by offering it through their app. This way, leftovers get a second life, contributing to a world where good food is not wasted.

Too Good To Go partners with businesses and event organizers to redistribute excess food that would otherwise go to waste. Their app allows users to purchase surplus food at a reduced price, making sustainability both accessible and economically viable. This approach not only minimizes food waste but also raises awareness about the issue and encourages individuals to adopt more sustainable consumption habits.

At our events, we integrate Too Good To Go into our catering strategy, ensuring that any surplus food is packed and made available for attendees, staff, and the wider community. Through our collaboration, we aim to challenge the throwaway culture and create a movement toward conscious consumption.

Circular Furnishing with Live Light

Furniture plays a major role in the atmosphere of an event, yet it is often used only temporarily. Live Light offers a circular model where furniture is rented instead of purchased. This prevents waste and ensures smarter use of raw materials, all while maintaining style and comfort.

Live Light operates on the principle of circular economy, where products are designed for long-term use rather than disposal. Their rental model allows event organizers to access high-quality, stylish furniture without the environmental impact of mass production and waste. At the end of each event, the furniture is returned, refurbished if necessary, and reused at future events. This drastically reduces the demand for new furniture production and minimizes waste generation.

Additionally, Live Light carefully selects materials that are sustainably sourced and durable. Many of their products are made from recycled materials or renewable resources, further reducing their environmental footprint. By partnering with Live Light, we ensure that our events maintain a sophisticated and professional aesthetic while remaining environmentally responsible.

Sustainable Energy Solutions with Meuleman Groep

Meuleman Groep’s wind turbines offer a unique and powerful approach to renewable energy, providing a sustainable solution that balances efficiency, space-saving design, and environmental responsibility. These turbines are specifically engineered to generate energy at low wind speeds, making them ideal for locations where wind conditions are less predictable.

What sets Meuleman Groep apart is their innovative clustering effect, which maximizes output when turbines are placed together, optimizing energy production. The turbines feature advanced safety mechanisms, including an automatic braking system for high winds, ensuring reliability and longevity. Their silent operation and compact design allow them to integrate seamlessly into rural and natural environments, enhancing the landscape while generating clean energy.

By choosing Meuleman Groep’s turbines, businesses and communities can contribute to a sustainable future, reduce their carbon footprint, and support the growing demand for green energy. This technology not only powers homes and businesses but also supports global efforts to fight climate change through clean, renewable resources.

Sustainability is a collective effort. Through our partnerships with Coeur Catering, Polestar, Too Good To Go, Live Light, and Meuleman Groep, we are taking concrete steps toward a greener and more conscious event landscape. We remain committed to reducing our impact and invite all our visitors and partners to help build a sustainable future.
