ECO-Stewardship is for All
savvySustainability™ is our corporate formula and pledge to do
all that we can to create events that are eco-healthy,
environmentally responsible and with as little impact on the
planet as possible--- without sacrificing the client's vision and
while still bringing it to life.

Since our launch in 2004, savvyplanners.com has been
extremely concerned about the effect our client's events had
on our environment.

After trying for more than a year to earn or locate an
Eco-Certification especially for Wedding and Event planners,
savvySustainability™ was born.
What it All Means?
Our Own Daily Personal Actions
Our internal initiatives and practices, which led to the creation of
savvySustainability™, have consisted, in part, of the following:

  1. Conducting the majority of our daily business digitally,
    where and whenever possible (via telephone, fax and e-
    mail).
  2. Limiting snail-mail correspondence and mailings.
  3. Minimizing our face to face meetings with clients to
    reduce their expenditure of funds, fuels, time and
    vehicular emissions while, actively, using other effective
    methods to provide samples and ideas.
  4. Reducing our international and domestic flights to an
    absolute minimum by developing satellite office teams
    around the world.
  5. When clients need to travel, we do everything possible
    to help provide them with greener alternatives, ideas
    and routings through which we attempt to reduce the
    impact of their needs globally.
  6. Relying on other modes of transportation that are
    "greener" when we absolutely must travel, such as
    carpooling.
  7. Providing eco-friendly recommendations and
    information to clients.
  8. Going predominantly "paperless'" in our offices and
    transactions.
  9. Encouraging our vendors to select thoughtfully and/or
    sustainably harvested products and reclaimed materials.
  10. When forced to source items from outside the U.S. for a
    client, in every case, we attempt to verify fair trade
    supplier standards as set forth by the International
    Federation of Alternative Trade (IFAT)
  11. Recycling printing errors into note pads.
  12. Recycling all paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, metal and
    our shredder contents.
  13. Using local and "in-season" florals and ingredients
    AND/OR using sustainably harvested flowers and
    produce for specific client demands.
What's With the Badge?
This badge is the official seal of our own
commitment to doing less harm to the environment
and the planet in the course of making client's event
dreams and desires come true.

The Peony represents healing, joyful life & a happy
marriage.  This is why we have selected the Peony
as the logo for our
savvySustainability Initiative.

It represents so many of the things we wish for our
clients.  What better icon to stand up for our
worldwide,
savvySustainability™ Initiative?

We are in the midst of preparing to offer a
savvySustainability™ certification program to other
independent and small to medium wedding and event
firms (non-corporate) to help our colleagues who want
to help the planet while staying as creative, artistic and
inspired as they are.

They will receive
the official, high resolution and
watermarked version of this badge
for use on their
website clearly identifying them as certified eco-savvy
wedding and event professinals for those clients
actively seeking them!
How Our Clients Can Elect to Help Preserve the
Planet Even While Planning the Event of a Lifetime
  1. Giving us permission to implement your dreams, wants
    and desires in an eco-savvy manner, through measures
    such as recycled or reclaimed materials, soy-based inks,
    washable tools and rentals in lieu of "disposables", and
    using innovative surfaces, more eco-protective options
    for standard items such as light bulbs replaced by LEDs.
  2. Considering how every little bit DOES make a difference.
