Sustainable events: How to reduce environmental impact without sacrificing style

SARAO Event Planning & Production • 26 de mayo de 2025

In the events industry, the need to implement sustainable practices that contribute to environmental care without losing the sophistication and style that characterize major corporate gatherings is becoming increasingly evident. At SARAO, we are committed to creating memorable experiences that are also environmentally responsible.


What is a sustainable event?

A sustainable event is one that, from planning to execution, seeks to minimize its environmental impact by using renewable resources, reducing waste, and selecting local, responsible suppliers. This trend, besides being an urgent necessity, has become a key strategy for positioning brands as socially responsible.


Strategies for sustainable events without losing style

  • Selection of recyclable and biodegradable materials: Choose reusable furniture, fiberglass or recycled wood decor, and pieces made with biodegradable materials.
  • Zero-Kilometer food: Catering can be a powerful ally in sustainability. Opting for local and seasonal foods not only reduces the carbon footprint but also supports local producers. Incorporating vegan or vegetarian menus is another effective way to decrease environmental impact.
  • Waste management and recycling: Implement clearly marked recycling stations and encourage waste management practices throughout the event.
  • Technology and digital communication: Reduce paper use by opting for digital invitations, mobile apps for event scheduling, and digital check-in systems. Besides being more sustainable, this option facilitates communication and organization.
  • Transportation optimization: Encourage carpooling, organize group transportation, or choose central locations that minimize the need for private transportation.


Why choose sustainable events?

Sustainable events not only contribute to the environment but also position brands as responsible leaders, generating a positive impact on attendees' perception. Additionally, by reducing resource consumption, costs can be optimized without sacrificing the quality of the event.

In a world where every investment matters, Return on Investment (ROI) has become a key factor when planning an event. But true success isn't just measured in numbers—it's measured in the impact you leave on your audience . At SARAO , we craft strategies that balance financial results with emotional resonance, ensuring that every dollar invested delivers both tangible—and unforgettable—outcomes. What Is ROI in Events? It’s the value you gain from the event in relation to what you invested. ROI can be measured through revenue, leads, brand positioning, customer loyalty, engagement, or media exposure. But there's one golden rule: a successful event is not only remembered—it’s shared, and it inspires action. Strategies to Maximize ROI Set clear goals from the start Defining your objective—whether it's sales, brand awareness, networking, or loyalty—allows you to design focused experiences that truly add value. Strategic event design Every element should have purpose: the scenography, attendee journey, key moments, content, and activations all work together to achieve your goals. Real-time data tracking and analysis Digital tools and event tech make it possible to monitor attendee behavior: how they interact, what they enjoy, and what they share. Content that lives beyond the event Professional footage, interviews, and social media content extend your event’s life and multiply its reach and visibility. Experiences that spark emotional connection The “wow factor” isn’t a luxury—it’s an investment in memorability, word-of-mouth, and future preference.
