"Sustainable Event Council" formed by five event production companies | Trial operation of workshop to support the realization of sustainable events begins

NOMURA Co.,Ltd. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director President and CEO: Kiyotaka Okumoto), Tanseisha Corporation (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director President: Osamu Kobayashi), Dentsu Live Inc. (Head Office: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director President and CEO: Masahiko Takagi), Hakuhodo Products Inc. (Head Office: Koto-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director President: Naohiko Kishi), and Murayama Corporation (Head Office: Koto-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director President: Torumasa Saiki). The Sustainable Event Council has been working to promote sustainability in the event industry and to improve literacy in the industry as a whole.
The Council is now launching a pilot workshop to encourage the realization of sustainability-conscious events.

All companies are expected to make a significant contribution to the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030. The 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo will also have the theme of "Contributing to the Achievement of the SDGs," and in the event industry, all event-related parties, including organizers, production companies, and production companies, are being asked to adopt a sustainability perspective.


On the other hand, the theme of sustainability is often perceived as difficult, and the majority of events understand its importance but are unable to take the first step towards making an effort. In response to this situation, the Sustainable Events Council has developed an original workshop tool to provide an opportunity for all people involved in events to think about sustainability in their events.

We are currently preparing for the official release, but prior to the official release, we are looking for partners who can cooperate with us in the test operation. By having many people experience workshops through the test operation, we hope to contribute to the development of better workshops and the ongoing promotion of sustainability in the entire event industry.
 

■Features of the workshop
 

Feature 1: Providing basic knowledge about sustainability
Before the workshop, we will explain the relationship between the event industry and sustainability, including case studies. Even those who are not familiar with sustainability can easily participate in the workshop without prior study.

Feature 2: Hint cards based on the "Sustainable Event Guideline"

We have developed our own hint cards that compile the checklist from the "Sustainable Event Guideline" published by Dentsu Live Inc. in 2022 into easy-to-understand illustrations. The content allows anyone to intuitively understand the key points that need to be addressed.

Feature 3: Fun and educational "red-inking" workshops

The workshop involves marking a tabloid article introducing a fictional event, which means participants can have fun while working on it without worrying too much.

If you are interested in test operations or workshops, please contact us via our corporate website.
