This page sets out BTIG’s priorities for more responsible event production. It describes goals and approaches, not a claim that every event or operation is sustainable, carbon-neutral or independently certified. The measures possible on a project depend on its scope, venue, suppliers, budget and local infrastructure.
People
Safety, well-being and local communities.
Resources
Efficiency, reuse and responsible sourcing.
Progress
Collaboration and continuous improvement.
Our Commitment
BTIG is committed to reducing our environmental footprint while continuing to deliver world-class production solutions. We integrate sustainability into our planning, procurement, operations, and partnerships to drive responsible growth and long-term value.
We focus on minimizing environmental impacts, promoting responsible resource use, and supporting innovation that helps our industry move toward more sustainable practices.
Climate Action and Greenhouse Gas Emissions
BTIG recognizes that climate change is a critical global challenge. Rising greenhouse gas emissions, extreme weather events, biodiversity loss, and environmental degradation require urgent and collective action.
We are committed to working with partners, suppliers, and stakeholders to measure, manage, and reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. Our long-term objective includes setting reduction targets aligned with science-based principles, with a focus on reducing emissions across our operations and supply chain.
Energy Efficiency
Our aim is to consider energy demand when selecting equipment and planning production. Options may include efficient lighting and appropriate power-management systems where suitable for the event.
This is a planning priority, not a quantified claim about energy savings or the proportion of BTIG’s inventory meeting a particular standard. Any project-specific savings need supporting evidence.
Resource Efficiency and Waste Reduction
BTIG follows a waste hierarchy approach that prioritizes:
- Waste reduction
- Reuse
- Recycling
- Energy recovery
- Responsible disposal
Our goal is to significantly reduce waste sent to landfill and increase material recovery rates across our offices, warehouses, and live events. We work to design processes and workflows that minimize waste generation and improve recycling and recovery wherever local infrastructure allows.
Plastics Reduction
BTIG is committed to reducing and eliminating single-use plastics in our operations and events wherever possible. Our objective is to transition toward reusable, renewable, certified compostable, or recycled-content alternatives.
This includes items such as cups, bottles, cutlery, plates, packaging, and other disposable materials used in event environments. We collaborate with partners to identify and implement practical alternatives and to align our supply chain with these goals.
Water Stewardship
We support responsible water use across our operations and event environments. This includes promoting access to quality drinking water, reducing water waste, and identifying opportunities to improve water efficiency.
Where appropriate, we explore solutions that support water reuse and conservation, especially in locations facing water stress or high consumption risks.
Food and Catering Practices
BTIG recognizes the environmental impact of food sourcing and waste. We work with suppliers to support responsible sourcing practices and prioritize quality, safety, and animal welfare standards.
We aim to reduce food waste at events and encourage composting and responsible disposal where facilities are available.
Sustainable Procurement and Partnerships
BTIG works closely with suppliers, partners, and sponsors to promote shared sustainability goals. We consider the full life cycle of products and materials we purchase and prioritize responsible sourcing.
We actively support the development of more sustainable products and services within our industry and encourage innovation that reduces environmental impact.
Sustainable Forestry and Responsible Wood Sourcing
We aim to consider the origin, reuse potential and supplier documentation of wood-based materials. Where a project calls for certified material, the relevant product and supply-chain evidence should support that specific claim.
Mentioning responsible sourcing does not mean BTIG holds an FSC, SFI, PEFC or other organizational certification. Certification claims must identify the actual certified product or organization and its scope.
Transportation and Logistics
Live event production requires transportation of people, equipment, and materials. BTIG works with suppliers and local authorities to encourage more sustainable transportation options where feasible, including shared transport, public transit, and efficient logistics planning.
We seek to measure and manage transportation impacts and promote solutions that reduce emissions associated with travel and freight.
Local and Community Impacts
BTIG is committed to operating responsibly within local communities. We consider environmental, cultural, and historical factors when designing and producing events.
Our approach includes:
- Respecting ecologically sensitive areas
- Minimizing noise and light pollution
- Supporting local employment and suppliers where possible
- Contributing to local communities and charitable initiatives
- Prioritizing health, safety, and well-being of employees, crews, and attendees
Engagement and Awareness
We believe in using our platform to engage clients, partners, and audiences in sustainability conversations. BTIG promotes transparency and collaboration, sharing best practices and supporting initiatives that raise awareness of environmental and social responsibility within the live events industry.
Governance and Continuous Improvement
BTIG’s sustainability efforts are supported through centralized policy direction and local implementation across regions. We regularly review and evolve our sustainability practices to reflect new data, technologies, regulations, and industry standards.
Our goal is to continuously improve our performance, strengthen accountability, and integrate sustainability into decision-making across all areas of our business.
