What we did
Greener Events was hired with the goal of contributing to making the event environmentally friendly. Greener Events see a huge potential for the para World Championship to take a stand and be in the forefront of green world championships aligning business, participants and athletes in the process. We conducted an opportunity study mapping the possibilities as well as the limitations with a stakeholder analysis and meetings.
Based on the findings, an environmental strategy was delivered containing barriers and possibilities as well as suggested measures to be implemented for minimizing environmental impact, engaging the audience and participants, while ensuring stakeholder contributions.
