Green Business Initiative | Calories, Carbon, Cost & Special Events

Special events have an environmental footprint all their own - different from the footprint of your day-to-day business. That’s true whether the event is a Loudoun Chamber breakfast, a business lunch or something more elaborate like a non-profit gala, an industry conference, a customer golf outing or a sales award trip to a warm and sunny destination. That’s why special events tend to be high in calories, carbon and cost. These events don’t have to be hard on your waistline, footprint and wallet. Join us to learn more about how special events affect your business’s sustainability and how to hold and attend them more responsibly while having even more fun!
