In 2020, University Events was granted Silver certification level as part of OSU Green Office Certification program. Help OSU meet its carbon reduction goals by practicing the most sustainable options in all your activities.
We strive to produce “green” events which utilize environmentally and socially responsible methods to the greatest extent practical. They often include measures to reduce energy and water use, use local food or other products, support alternative transportation, provide composting and recycling at the event location(s) and educate event participants on what measures were taken and why. A lot has happened since 2009 when University Events started working to find ways to create what is now referred to as 'sustainable events.' Learn more about how to make your event more sustainable through tools available in our event planning guide.
