To support the increasing need for transformational sustainability innovation, ASM Global is partnering with Honeycomb Strategies – a consultant in sustainability for the hospitality, sports and event industries.
ASM Global has stated that the move demonstrates its recognition that sustainability has become a critical contributor to venue management and operations in the live-event industry.
According to ASM Global, the portfolio’s facility owners and operators will leverage Honeycomb Strategies’ experience and comprehensive understanding of events-related sustainability best practices to make informed strategic decisions on major sustainability investments.
The company’s corporate social responsibility platform, ASM Global Acts Foundation, supports philanthropic and community-based endeavours, guided by its sustainability and diversity objectives. It also has a portfolio of certified green venues.
ASM Global president and CEO, Ron Bension (pictured left), said: “Demand for sustainability innovations for our vast network of facilities has been steadily increasing. Our partnership with Honeycomb Strategies will further ensure our place as the premier provider in live entertainment.”
The partnership aims to reinforce ASM Global’s and Honeycomb Strategies’ combined commitment to offering approaches and sustainable solutions for ASM Global’s portfolio of venues in the live entertainment, trade show event, hospitality stadium and sports spaces.
Lindsay Arell (pictured right), one of Honeycomb Strategies’ two principals, commented: “This alliance is a perfect fit with both companies’ desire to help drive positive social and environmental change.”
“It helps meet business and sustainability goals, both internally and for our clients and the communities in which we operate. As some of the largest venues in the world, this commitment is sure to have a significant impact.”
Honeycomb Strategies’ other principal, Amanda Simons (pictured left), added: “This partnership enables us to really move beyond just policy and procedure with our event clients. We can collaborate with both stakeholder groups to make meaningful change and long-lasting positive impacts.”
