Technology requirements
Recycling and waste reduction strategies
Attendee accommodations

The correct answer is: Recycling and waste reduction strategies

Sustainability in event planning focuses on minimizing negative impacts on the environment while maximizing positive outcomes for society and the economy. Recycling and waste reduction strategies are central to achieving sustainable goals at events. Implementing these strategies involves reducing the amount of waste generated, diverting waste from landfills, and promoting materials that can be reused or recycled. By prioritizing recycling and waste reduction, event planners can decrease the carbon footprint associated with waste disposal and promote environmental responsibility among attendees. Such practices not only align with the sustainability goals of the event but can also enhance attendees' engagement and perception of the event as socially responsible. In contrast, while commercial sponsorships can provide financial support, they do not inherently contribute to sustainability unless aligned with eco-friendly initiatives. Technology requirements may improve efficiencies but do not directly address sustainability efforts. Similarly, while attendee accommodations are essential for event logistics, they alone do not tackle waste and recycling issues.
