How-To:

Venue Sustainalytics is an industry survey and enterprise dashboard showing sustainability metrics for event venues. Its goal is to achieve annual benchmarks for sustainability data throughout the event industry in order to establish industry norms, delineate leaders and inspire the community to take action.

IAVM, TSNN, and Honeycomb Strategies are the founding partners of Venue Sustainalytics.

This endeavor aims to build industry momentum, inspire collaboration, and foster healthy competition to further sustainability goals throughout the sector. Venue Sustainalytics believes in harnessing our collective power for the greater good.

You’ll benefit from interpreting a data set from a wide swath of our industry and seeing where you stack up, which can inform operational decisions and future goals.

Venue Sustainalytics is for event venues that can be categorized as stadiums/arenas, convention centers, theaters, or other large meeting spaces. Whether or not your venue currently has a sustainability program, goals or individual benchmarking data, most venues will have access to the data points asked for in the survey.

Participation in Venue Sustainalytics is free! You can contribute data, view the industry dashboard, access learning resources, and receive an annual overview simply by contributing your venue’s annual data. If you wish to go deeper to access custom insights and receive a report specific to your venue, a reporting fee may apply.

Your data is anonymous to public viewers. Once incorporated into the dashboard, your venue contributes to a collective pool of metrics where no data point can be traced back to a particular venue.

Data security and confidentiality is important both for privacy and for accuracy. Data analysts who have access to your data to run Venue Sustainalytics will only work with your data in a secure manner to verify and analyze it for purposes of this project, and will not use or publish it outside of Venue Sustainalytics for any purpose without your express permission.
