About Green Event Ninjas
At Green Event Ninjas, we do not plan events, but rather we help those that do, do so in a more sustainable manner. In other words, we work alongside event producers, planners and suppliers (venues, caterers, etc.) to help them get the most value out of their operations and events by looking at the issues they’re facing through a sustainability lens.
We deliver on this by offering our sustainable event management consulting services, in general, and furthermore by offering specialized services targeting key impact areas, like our green event cleaning and waste management services, event carbon footprints, and event sustainability standards compliance.
