The Challenge today
Environmental and Social Impact
Did you know that the event industry contributes up to 10% of global CO2 emissions? Events have a larger carbon footprint than most people realise, from the materials used to the energy and transport required. The events industry is worth a trillion dollars and growing fast, so we need to address its big challenges together, and leverage its potential to benefit the local communities too.
Complexity of the industry
Many industry stakeholders, such as event organisers, venue operators, and catering companies, do not recognise how much their activities affect the environment and society. Event professionals often lack the resources and skills to adopt sustainable and regenerative practices - but these are crucial for the long-term success of the whole industry!
Increasing Regulations
Navigating the evolving sustainability regulations and standards - environmental, sustainability, waste management, among others - is challenging, but it's a vital step toward a better future for all.
Tackling the Myth: "it is always more expensive"
Sustainable events do not have to cost more. This is a myth we're here to debunk through careful planning and processes. Join us in redefining event management to not only be good for the environment and society, but cost-effective as well!
What We Do
Expert Sustainability Events Consulting
At Biopikilo Events, we created a unique events consulting service for our clients.
We help meet the highest operational and safety practises, using our expertise in sustainability standards and principles, the regenerative economy, and environmental regulations.
Among our clientele - across geographies and sectors - are:
- Event organisers (professional congresses, conferences, concerts)
- Venue operators and owners

Innovative Solutions
Each event and venue is unique, and so are our sustainability action plans. We tailor our work to minimize the environmental footprint and maximize resource efficiency for every client. The result often involves innovative and lasting solutions through sustainable activities, stakeholder education and cultural-community engagement.
Regenerative Activities
This is what we are best at. A regenerative event is a type of event that aims to not only minimize negative impacts on the environment and society but also actively work to improve and revitalize these areas. This approach goes beyond simply being “sustainable” or “ethical” and instead focuses on creating positive, restorative outcomes. Our guidance brings memorable and engaging activities to your events and venues.
Ongoing Support
Our commitment extends beyond planning. We offer continuous support, adjustments, and consultations to ensure compliance and optimal sustainability, enhancing both the impact and communication of your event. We work on a project-basis and via a retainer.
