Put sustainability at the heart of production planning from the start.

Sustainability is built into how we plan and deliver every production. Our approach aligns with ISO 20121 and ISO 14001, helping clients turn environmental commitments into practical decisions, measurable outcomes, and credible reporting.

Planning frameworks

We translate policy into decisions the production team can act on.

Sustainability requirements are built into each phase of production. The client’s framework informs design, sourcing, logistics, resource use, waste planning, data collection, and final reporting, with clear evidence requirements and owners established for the engagement. Space City Pro works in alignment with ISO 20121 and ISO 14001 principles.

01 / STANDARD
Events

ISO 20121

We incorporate event sustainability requirements into planning, delivery, and closeout, aligned with the reporting boundary, method, evidence, and owner the client defines.

  • Plan
  • Deliver
  • Review
02 / STANDARD
Environment

ISO 14001

We track resource, material, energy, freight, and waste inputs for the engagement wherever reliable data and an agreed method are available.

  • Resource use
  • Waste
  • Improvement
03 / STANDARD
Carbon

GHG Protocol

We collect emissions-related inputs for client or specialist analysis. Boundaries, factors, estimates, source quality, ownership, and assurance remain with the approved reporting methodology.

  • Scope 1
  • Scope 2
  • Scope 3
04 / STANDARD
Safety

ISO 45001

Safety and environmental practices are documented for the engagement, and practiced on site.

  • Aligned
  • Site practice
SAFETY STANDARDS

We address safety requirements separately, confirming applicable venue rules, client standards, engineering requirements, accessibility needs, credentials, and emergency procedures for the engagement.

Measure & report

Provide your sustainability team with clear, usable production data.

Reporting needs vary by organization and program. Before collection begins, we align requested inputs, boundaries, source quality, estimates, ownership, and delivery format with the client or reporting specialist responsible for methodology and external claims.

REPORT · 01
By source

Footprint inputs, organized by source

We organize agreed production, freight, energy, material, catering, travel, and waste inputs by source, as the data becomes available.

  • Travel
  • Freight
  • Materials
REPORT · 02
Scope-ready

Mapped to the client’s approved reporting method

We align the output format, definitions, and ownership with the client or reporting specialist before collection begins.

  • Scope 1
  • Scope 2
  • Scope 3
REPORT · 03
Filed

Prepared for review

We prepare a documented input set, with sources, estimates, limitations, and open questions, for the client’s sustainability team or specialist to review.

  • Review-ready inputs
  • Audit trail
In practice

We reduce impact where production choices make a documented difference.

Broadcast strategy, equipment selection, freight, scenic design, print, staffing, and strike planning change resource use. We evaluate feasibility, audience and creative trade-offs, cost, available data, and the client’s reporting method for the actual program.

01 / LEVER
Travel

Broadcast & hybrid

Multi-site and streaming options reduce travel for participants who join remotely. Actual impact depends on participation, distance, energy, infrastructure, and the reporting method.

  • Multi-site
  • Streaming
02 / LEVER
Energy

LED inventory

LED and lighting system choices affect power demand. The actual comparison depends on equipment, brightness, runtime, power source, and baseline.

  • LED video
  • Lower draw
03 / LEVER
Freight

Optimized freight routes

We evaluate routing and load consolidation against schedule, service, cost, and emissions considerations.

  • Fewer miles
  • Consolidated
04 / LEVER
Materials

Reusable scenic & staging

We reuse and reconfigure scenic and staging elements where design, storage, condition, ownership, and future requirements permit.

  • Reusable
  • Stored & reused
05 / LEVER
Print

Digital-first, recycled in print

We set digital and print choices with the client, and confirm recycled content, certifications, quantity, format, and end-of-life assumptions with the supplier.

  • Digital-first
  • Recycled stock
06 / LEVER
Crew

Market-specific staffing

Team composition and travel are set for each engagement. We use local or regional staffing when it fits the required skills, venue rules, availability, and program standards.

  • Scoped by market
  • Local crews
07 / LEVER
Waste

Waste diversion at strike

We confirm waste handling, recycling, donation, diversion, hauler documentation, and venue responsibilities for the site and scope.

  • Site-specific waste plan
  • Floor stations
Sustainability in the brief

Bring the sustainability requirements into the production conversation early.

Send the relevant goals, RFP language, reporting method, and decision owners. We will identify the production choices to evaluate, the inputs we collect, and the dependencies that sit with venues, suppliers, the client, or a specialist.
