Lime Venue Portfolio has marked a major milestone in its sustainability journey with the release of the third and final edition of its ESG Event Planning Guide series. The debut of the ‘G’ Guide in June completes the trio of practical resources designed to help event organisers embed Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles into their planning, with the series already downloaded hundreds of times across the industry.The response from planners, venues, and sustainability leaders has been overwhelmingly positive, positioning the guides as some of the most actionable and accessible resources available for event professionals tackling the growing complexity of ESG delivery.Launched in stages over the past year — with the ‘E’ (Environmental) Guide in November, ‘S’ (Social) Guide in February, and now the ‘G’ (Governance) Guide — the series has become a key part of Lime Venue Portfolio’s wider commitment to sustainable and socially valuable events.Jo Austin, Sales Director, Lime Venue Portfolio, commented: "We knew when we launched the first guide that there was a real hunger from planners to do better, but they needed support, clarity, and confidence. Seeing hundreds of downloads and hearing how the guides are shaping event strategies across the country has been incredible. It’s not just about sustainability anymore — it’s about legacy, responsibility, and real, lasting value.”Each guide breaks down ESG principles into practical steps that support both planners and suppliers, covering topics such as carbon measurement, food waste, diversity, well-being, and ethical supply chains. The final ‘G’ guide goes further, exploring governance, accountability, and reporting frameworks, giving organisers the tools to measure and communicate impact.The ESG Event Planning Guide series is freely available to download from the Lime Venue Portfolio website here. Each guide is designed to work independently or as part of the full ESG framework, giving planners the flexibility to start wherever they are on their journey.

Live events agency Goose has partnered with consultancy Sustainability Simplified to turn its environmental ambitions into a clear, actionable strategy. The result: a robust Net-Zero roadmap that sets Goose apart as a leader in sustainable events.Goose has been working hard on sustainability since 2020 and identified the need for specialist support to scale its impact and bring structure to its efforts. That’s where Sustainability Simplified stepped in; a consultancy trusted for cutting through the jargon and helping events businesses make real, measurable change.“We’ve always taken sustainability seriously, but we reached a point where we needed expert guidance to focus our efforts,” said Luke Wigley, Director and Sustainability lead at Goose. “Over three months, we worked together to measure our baseline carbon footprint, update our sustainability policy, and most importantly, create a clear Net-Zero roadmap.”“The roadmap gives us a phased, five-year action plan; not just aspirational goals, but tangible changes across our business and events. It shows expected emissions reductions for each action, which makes everything clear for our team, our clients, and our suppliers.”The impact was immediate. During their collaboration, Goose was recognised as one of the UK’s 30 most sustainable event agencies. The company plans to publish its first sustainability report later this year, outlining its progress and key milestones.The roadmap itself is rooted in reality. Each proposed action, from switching energy sources to rethinking transport logistics, was workshopped with the team for feasibility, analysed for potential carbon reductions, and built into a phased implementation plan. Only measures that were both meaningful and achievable made the final cut.“Goose is a great example of what’s possible when passionate agencies commit to real change. They’re not just making promises, they’re doing the work, and already seeing the benefits for themselves and clients.” Ben Quarrell, Co-founderTo support more agencies on their journey, Sustainability Simplified has also released a 10-step guide to becoming a leader in sustainable events, available for free download now on their website.
