Paper:

Pre-event

Applications were encouraged via email.  Only one copy of each application was produced and judges either had email copies or shared a copy between them.  Unsuccessful applicants were informed by email; however applicants who were shortlisted were written to with invitations (as were sponsors).

Event literature

We recognise that there is a requirement to promote the awards alongside a need to balance the environmental impact of producing literature in excess. Copies of documents produced for the event were reduced:

• Booklet

• One English and one Welsh version was produced per table for information - 80 copies in total.

• Programme

• One English and one Welsh version was produced per table for information - 80 copies in total.

• Memento leaflet

• One bilingual copy was produced per person.  The leaflet provided further information on the awards, sustainability in general and opportunities for feedback - 400 copies in total.

The designers/printers were chosen dependent on cost, quality and environmental credentials.  The company awarded the work was a past Wales Environment Award winner and could demonstrate their environmental credentials.
