At S2F Events, we believe that delivering impactful events should never come at the expense of the planet. As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we take conscious steps to ensure every event we manage is as environmentally responsible as possible without compromising on quality or experience.
From small details to larger strategic choices, our approach to sustainable event management is built around reducing waste, making greener choices, and working with clients to find better ways forward.
Plastic-Free Practices
We’ve eliminated single-use plastics wherever possible across our events. From backstage operations to front-of-house experiences, we seek alternatives that are kinder to the environment. You won’t find plastic water bottles or badges at an S2F-managed event - we encourage reusable options and provide eco-friendly alternatives instead.
Recyclable Badges
Event credentials might seem like a small detail, but when you’re producing large-scale events, small changes have a big impact. That’s why all our attendee badges are made from recyclable materials. We also explore options such as digital business card swaps and on-site collection bins to ensure they’re properly recycled after use.
Smarter Branding
Instead of traditional pull-up banners that are often discarded after a single use, we use cardboard-based branding that’s recyclable and made from responsibly sourced materials. It’s a choice that not only reduces waste but also offers a creative, contemporary look - proving that sustainability and style can go hand in hand.
Minimising Waste
Waste avoidance underpins everything we do. From thoughtful pre-event planning to efficient on-site execution, we focus on producing only what’s necessary. We work closely with venues and suppliers to limit overproduction, reduce excess materials, and ensure that leftover resources are reused, donated, or recycled where possible.
A Meat-Free Menu Initiative
One of our most exciting recent collaborations saw us working with a forward-thinking client to introduce a meatless catering day at their event. This initiative significantly lowered the event’s carbon footprint while encouraging attendees to think differently about sustainability - and the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. It’s a great example of how small, bold changes can spark wider conversations and lead to meaningful impact.
Sustainability isn’t a trend — it’s a responsibility. At S2F Events, we’re proud to play our part in creating a more sustainable future for the events industry.
