SEMS - The smart sustainability solution for all event organisers
"SEMS takes the heavy lifting off event organisers who until now responsibility has fallen upon to manually collect and chase sustainable event management data and proof from suppliers, contractors and staff. It's also a fantastic education tool. Coordinators are reminded through the interactive tips and education resources to keep sustainable practices and process at the forefront of decision making. As an auditing and data collection tool, SEMS has no equal." Global greening guru & SEMS consultant Meegan Jones, author of Sustainable Event Management: A Practical Guide www.sustainableeventguide.com

SEMS teaches you how to plan, organize, measure and report upon the "green" performance of your event or meeting. SEMS is a sustainability framework that allows you to integrate responsible business practice into your events enabling business excellence.
