Green Event Program

The Green Event Certification program was created to encourage the adoption of sustainable practices among event organizers and planners at Butler University. By incorporating eco-friendly measures into events, regardless of their size, the Butler Community can contribute to waste reduction, conserve valuable resources, and serve as a champion for sustainability on campus.

Events with a Green Event Certification receive a symbol of recognition from the Office of Sustainability to celebrate your group’s dedication to sustainable event practices and as inspiration for future events on campus and beyond.
