Priority Issues

MeetGreen acknowledges that event planning has significant environmental impacts. Since 2007 we have collected extensive event footprint data for over 224 event projects. We’ve learned the typical conference event attendee produces:

2.0

Kg of Event Discards Per Day

0.8

Kg of Landfill Per Day

32.0

Kg of Carbon Emissions Per Day

We strive to work with our clients and their suppliers to influence reduction across these areas so that we can continue to enjoy events in ways that are also more environmentally and socially responsible. While our company may be small, our influence is significant, especially given our clients are also committed to these goals. In 2025 MeetGreen supported:

Social Responsibility

MeetGreen’s approach to social responsibility employs policies and training for staff, community service, and project work. We conduct ourselves ethically according to our motto “Be a Good Human”, and commit to abide by the laws impacting our activities, and exceeding requirements where regulatory guidance may be lacking.

Healthy Work Approach

Event planning is consistently ranked in the top five “Most Stressful Occupations” and MeetGreen is striving for a healthier approach. We manage events in a strategic manner and keep our team’s focus on anticipating needs and following an agreed upon plan constantly updated during the planning cycle. In short, there are very few “emergencies” which need immediate attention.

To stay refreshed, focused and in a state of well-being, our team is not expected to respond to planning requests evenings and weekends unless it is immediately prior to an event or they are onsite and giving it 100% of their attention.

We share our philosophy to invite conversation and inspire others to join us in our commitment to employee well-being.

Training

As early adopters of the UN Global Compact, MeetGreen staff receive orientation and training regarding the following upon hire, and a minimum of once every two years:

Ethics
Risk management
Accessibility
Privacy
Fairness, anti-harassment and anti-discrimination
Human trafficking, child labor and slavery
Corruption/bribery

In addition, when situations arise in today’s uncertain world, we quickly address them. During our weekly meetings, the entire team discusses the issue, our role as an organization, and necessary training which may be required to address it.

Community Service

MeetGreen finances and encourages service by staff. Service often includes voluntary involvement in industry committees that supports event sustainability. Staff projects and donations in 2025 benefited:

Project Work
