In today's dynamic exhibition industry, the demand for sustainability isn't just a trend; it's a necessity. Event organisers, exhibitors and other stakeholders are on the lookout for suppliers and contractors who share their commitment to environmental responsibility. Companies that recognise the need to act on sustainability and actively work on improving their efforts are going to be the more attractive choice for potential clients.
In order to assist our members within this area, ESSA is pleased to offer the ESSA Sustainability Accreditation. The accreditation serves as independent verification of a company’s sustainability performance, providing credibility and recognition in the field of sustainability.
Its criteria has been developed in collaboration with the ESSA Sustainability Working Group, and the Cross-Association Sustainability Working Group. It aligns with current industry standards, the cross-association commitments, the net-zero events initiative and ISO standards like ISO14001 and ISO20121.
It's important to note that the ESSA Sustainability Module does not intend to replace existing accreditations; rather, it complements and enhances them. We believe this module goes beyond the requirements of ISO standards, demanding tangible progress and evidence of improvement. Even for companies not currently engaged with the ISO process, this module serves as an ideal framework to embark on their sustainability journey.
By embracing the ESSA Sustainability Module, whether by completing it yourself or by choosing to work with sustainability accredited companies, you can demonstrate your commitment to sustainability, gain credibility, and help improve the sustainability practices of your work.
The ESSA Sustainability Accreditation is an evidenced focused, points based process, covering 12 essential aspects of sustainability management…
|
• Sustainability Policy |
• Modern Slavery |
• Supporting the Community |
• Procurement • Waste Management |
The accreditation is scored out of 100 points and 6 different tiers can be achieved. Certified, Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3, Tier 4 and Tier 5. Each accredited company is issued with a dated certificate and logos to demonstrate what Tier they have achieved. The process is repeated on an annual process, allowing companies the chance to improve year on year and to ensure that sustainability management remains a priority.
