ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the roles and responsibilities of event managers to produce a quality event while simultaneously considering the impacts of events on the environment. The call to manage events in a more environmentally sustainable manner will surely be amplified as there is increasing pressure to (i) reduce direct harm caused to the environment, (ii) satisfy ethical interests of stakeholders (both internal and external), (iii) integrate risk management, (iv) communicate in a credible manner, (v) ensure that events can operate in a safe and healthy environment, and (vi) meet new legal requirements.
