Vision 2025 Green Directory members White Light, Pro AV and SFL are UK based companies, within the d&b Group, offering free access to the company’s newly launched cloud-based sustainability management software, SustainSymphony.
Event Professionals are invited to create accounts based on their specific role – whether they are part of organisations, manage products and services, oversee venues or coordinate events.
Bryan Raven, Strategic Project Director of White Light, says:
“This is an intuitive platform, developed to serve a wide range of stakeholders across the live event ecosystem. It integrates information, certificates and practical checklists to assist with efficient sustainability management and will enable users to create sustainability reports.”
At the heart of SustainSymphony is a comprehensive database designed as an event checklist. Suppliers and service providers are able to store their products and services on the cloud server so that other users can find their offerings when searching for sustainable suppliers. Users can enter their Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) data for their events, services, and venues, enabling them to calculate and improve sustainability measures for future events. Venues have the option to add their annual sustainability data to the platform. Using this data, the platform calculates event-related emissions for an individual event, simplifying the data collection process and reducing workload.
One of the key features of SustainSymphony is the integration of sustainability certificates, allowing users to display credentials such as ISO14001. Robert Trebus, Director Sustainability d&b group says:
“SustainSymphony is unique for a number of reasons. This free service goes beyond traditional offerings by enabling verifiable CO2 reduction, energy savings and efficient resource management.
“We hope that this software acts as a catalyst for positive environmental impact within the live events industry.”
Recognising the urgency for effective carbon footprint tools, d&b group aims to fill this gap with SustainSymphony, providing not only Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reports, but also practical checklists and centralised data for venues and products.
