d&b group announced the latest update to its SustainSymphony platform, a cloud-based sustainability management software designed for the live event industry.
The update now closely aligns SustainSymphony with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) set by the United Nations to address a wide range of global sustainability and equality issues.
The integration of the SDGs into the SustainSymphony platform includes a new feature that prominently highlights SDG-related actions within the user interface. This makes it easier for event organisers and users to monitor and track their contributions to sustainability goals.
Key enhancements include:
- SDG integration: Event activities and data collection related to the 17 SDGs are clearly marked in the platform’s interface, making it easier for users to integrate sustainability goals into their event planning.
- SDG matrix in event reports: An SDG matrix has been added to the event reports, providing organisers with a detailed overview of how their event activities align with each of the 17 SDGs.
Robert Trebus, Director of Global Sustainability at d&b group emphasises the value of the SustainSymphony platform in supporting their efforts to drive sustainability within the live event industry. “With the new features, event organisers can demonstrate their commitment to global sustainability efforts in a clear and actionable way. This supports their intention to have a meaningful impact on global SDG goals, ensuring their events are successful and being a part of a larger sustainability movement,” he said.
The update is available immediately to all users of SustainSymphony at no additional cost.
