Tompkins Consulting Group - Sustainability

COMMITMENT TO GREEN
TOMPKINS CONSULTING GROUP is committed to
sustainbility in the event industry. We believe green event
management is not a trend, but the responsibility of each
segment of the events industry to embrace.

TOMPKINS CONSULTING GROUP is a member of the
Green Meeting Industry Council, the founder of "Go
Green" with Meeting Professionals International, and a
participant in the Convention Industry Council's Green
Meetings benchmarking project.

SUSTAINABILITY
Next to financial stability, Sustainibility will be the
greatest challenge most industries face in 2010. From
reducing the carbon footprint, to cutting unnecessary
expenditures, sutainability can be a key solution in the
fight for corporate viability.

As government agencies, non-profits, corporations and
businesseses embrace sustainability, the challenges to
remain competitive and socially responsible, will continue
to grow. It will simply not be enough for an organization
to institute a recycling program and declare itself green.
Your organization will need a sound strategy with
quantifiable/measurable results.

TOMPKINS CONSULTING GROUP will work with you to
develop a Greening Plan for your organization, event
center, business or even for a specific event. A
successful and cost-effective Greening Plan may include:

GREEN RESOURCES
The availibility of reference materials for planning a green
event is growing daily, with many materials being free,
and packed with valuable information. We encourage all
of our clients and potential clients to take some time to
review the materials listed below.

Low-emission
transportation/travel options

Sustainability evaluation of
hotels/venues

Develop green Food & Beverage
selections

Closing the recycling loop for an
event

Publishing of a Sustainability
Report for your event or
organization

Employment of technology to
reduce your impace on natural
resources

"Corporate social responsibility is a hard-edged
business decision. Not because it is a nice thing to
do or because people are forcing us to do it...
because it is good for our business."
