Greenview developed and authored the Green Venue Report, a ground-breaking study on sustainability performance in large convention and exhibition centers worldwide. Published annually, the report gathers data through a detailed survey covering a wide spectrum of over 100 policies, practices, and performance indicators around sustainability.
Participating convention centers receive a blind comparative report that allows them to assess their performance against peers, while aggregated results form a publicly available state-of-the-industry report. This builds awareness and showcases measurable progress across venues, enabling event planners to understand what sustainable practices can be requested or aimed for. It also highlights benchmark metrics across energy, water, carbon and waste.
Drawing insights from over 75 venues across five continents, the Green Venue Report also integrates findings from Greenview’s broader research portfolio, including the Green Lodging Trends Report and the Horwath-Greenview Asia Pacific Sustainability Data Trends Report.
Each edition tracks year-over-year progress on a wide range of practices, classifying them as common, emerging, or innovative based on adoption rates. These insights help venues understand how their efforts compare with industry patterns and identify areas where they can lead.
By aggregating data confidentially from venues around the world, the Green Venue Report supports a clearer understanding of how sustainability is progressing within the meetings and events environment and where the sector is collectively advancing.
