Diversity and sustainability should be key goals of your event, and everyone involved – staff, speakers, sponsors and participants – should be aware of that.
Pick suppliers who share your commitment to sustainability, and can prove it.
Choose speakers and sponsors who share EPFL’s values.
Make sure your event is safe and accessible for everyone.
Ask staff and speakers coming from elsewhere in Europe to travel by train rather than fly.
Encourage staff, speakers and participants to use public transport or to walk or cycle to the event.
Avoid purchasing new equipment whenever possible.
Serve healthy, vegetarian food that’s made from local products and seasonal produce.
