As a movement for the industry by the industry, we exist to...

Standardise method and measurement.

From measurement to methodology, if we work to the same parameters we can progress faster.

Accelerate the pace of change.

The TV, film, and festival sectors have all made significant advances and we can learn from their journey.

Meet new demands from clients and consumers.

Events teams are under pressure to be sustainable and we have the tools to help.

Bring the industry together to effect change.

No individual can solve the challenge of sustainable events – together, we have the power to make a difference.

Provide action-oriented solutions.

We have the support and guidance you require to make long term, positive changes.

Do the right thing.

Adapting our industry to become more sustainable just makes sense!

Our approach

As an independent body founded by events professionals and industry leaders, isla is an action-driven network. We bring together expertise from across the entire events sector and empower your teams with the confidence, knowledge, and resources needed to confidently and consistently deliver sustainable events.

 

Our focus is in three core areas: funding the transition, enabling decarbonisation, and restoring and regenerating nature. 

 

Through facilitation, education and reporting we will share knowledge, up-skill the industry and track our progress in order to rapidly and measurably affect change across our industry.
