A brief description of the institution’s green event certification program:
The goal of the Green Events Certification Guide is to provide instructions for participating event planners to assist them in creating events that are as eco-friendly as possible. Not only will this help KSC attain ambitious sustainability goals, but this is also an excellent opportunity to educate program planners and attendees about the environmental impact of holding events and gatherings. How event planners engage with the Green Events Certification program is up to them. Planners can use the Program as a general roadmap to support their planning and decision making, or they can strive to attain a Green Event Certification of either Bronze, Silver, or Gold. Interested participants will connect with the Office of Sustainability to begin the certification process. Once a Green Event Certification goal is set, the Office of Sustainability will work with event planners to ensure that they have the resources needed to meet their goal.
