Wyboston Lakes Resort sponsorship will encourage agencies on their sustainability journey

Wyboston Lakes Resort, which has won many awards and gained widespread recognition for its continuing commitment to new sustainability innovations and is now encouraging event agencies on their sustainability journey while gaining recognition for their actions.

The Bedfordshire based Resort is sponsoring the Power 50 – the UK’s Top 50 Most Sustainable Event Agencies, which has been launched by event:decision in partnership with micebook.

Louisa Watson, Marketing Director and Sustainability Lead at Wyboston Lakes Resort explained “Our total commitment to sustainability is reflected by our pledge ‘More Sustainable, No Apology’ and that includes encouraging the whole of our industry to work continually to make events more sustainable. This new initiative by event:decision and micebook will give well deserved recognition to agencies that are already working very hard at this and it should encourage everyone to increase their efforts. That’s why we decided to support it with this sponsorship.”

Agencies throughout the UK involved in the creation and staging of events of all types are invited to enter. They will be asked questions about the sustainability of their business operations, about their accreditations, credentials and the savings that they can demonstrate from increasingly sustainable practices; and how they deliver sustainable events for their clients.

Entries will be objectively scored and the scores ranked to create the Power 50 which will be announced at micebook Expo in January 2025.

Wyboston Lakes Resort has been independently accredited and earned gold status from the Green Tourism Awards and the IACC, and EcoSmart Platinum Venue Award from Greengage Solutions, the highest level of accreditation.

As its most recent initiative, more than 3200 solar panels have just been installed across the site as part of its Green Energy Roadmap to make the site increasingly self-sufficient with green energy.

Among its other activities are keeping bees on its 380 acre estate as well as ensuring that zero waste is sent to landfill each year as it has since 2015.
