Guideline: sustainable event management in Haaga-Helia Porvoo campus
Everyday the damaging outcomes of industrial life become more visible and obvious. That is why the mankind has created the sustainability concept, to stop the destruction and pos- sibly erase some of the devastating actions that we did. In Haaga-Helia University of Applied Sciences, we, students and staff, can also play a vital role to prevent the ruination of Earth from happening. In Haaga-Helia Porvoo campus spe- cifically, we can do so by focusing on one of the main activities of the campus – event management, to be done responsibly. This product-based thesis is aimed at developing sustainable event management culture in Haaga-Helia Porvoo campus, regulated by a guideline that is presented as a final product of the thesis. Guideline is based on existing materials on sustainability, Agenda2030, inter- views from Haaga-Helia workers, sustainability organisation and reports on sustainable event organisations on festivals across the world. It is structured in a way that follows the event organisation steps and is targeted for Tourism and Event Management students. Theoretical framework covers components of sustainable event organisation, such as en- ergy and emissions, water, resources, transportation and waste management, as well as social responsibility. Final result of the research and development process is a guideline for sustainable event organization in Haaga-Helia Porvoo campus that is purposed to comply with the current Agenda 2030 goals, following materials from theoretical framework part. It is aimed to ben- efit to Haaga-Helia community by decreasing carbon emissions, educating visitors and par- ticipants on environmental issue and giving back to the society. Main focus is on ecological sustainability, but social responsibility will be discussed as well. The handbook is targeted at the students of Haaga-Helia. During the research, it was found out that significantly decreasing event’s carbon emis- sions does not require radical changes and instead can be achieved by taking small easy steps. These include working with local rather than international companies, responsible waste disposal, reduction of red meat in catering, conservation of non-renewable sources, among others. Further suggestions for the development are listed in the last chapter.
