Government strongly encourages all organisations with responsibility for sporting and cultural events, to find sustainable and environmentally-friendly ways of operating.

The EventIMPACTS website, supported by DCMS, provides advice and support for event organisers to help them implement ISO 20121- which is the international standard on sustainable events.

Arts Council England (ACE) support a number of organisations and projects which focus on the environment and sustainability.
