Ecoevents

What Ecoevents does

Ecoevents, operating as 'Ecoevents by Ambiente e Salute Società Benefit', is an Italy-based sustainability consultancy and benefit corporation headquartered in Coriano (Rimini). Founded in 2006 within the EcoArea Better Living innovation hub, the company specializes in making events — corporate conventions, trade shows, cultural festivals, and sports events — environmentally sustainable through a portfolio of certification, training, and consulting services. Its core offerings include ISO 20121 (sustainable event management), ISO 14001 (environmental management), UNI PdR 125:2022 (gender equality), and ISO 9001 (quality management) certification support, alongside carbon footprint measurement, ESG assessment, sustainable supply chain analysis, sustainability reporting aligned with CSRD and GRI/IIRC standards, and carbon offsetting projects including Blue Carbon Credits and reforestation.

The company's revenue model is professional services-based across three streams: certification consultancy, sustainability consulting, and training. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with sales conducted primarily through website consultation requests. Training is delivered via streaming and in-person sessions in collaboration with 24Ore Business School (a co-branded Executive Master in Green Event Management), reaching a network of 1,700+ organizations and 1,000+ certified events over 20+ years. Customer segments span event organizers (primary), corporations and enterprises seeking ESG performance improvement (primary), large organizations and multinationals subject to mandatory CSRD reporting, and SMEs/mid-market companies pursuing supply chain sustainability.

Ecoevents operates as a Società Benefit under Italian law with statutory obligations to positive environmental and social impact, governed by a 12-member Scientific Committee. Key strategic partnerships include Legambiente (Italy's leading environmental NGO, providing brand endorsement since 2013) and 24Ore Business School (professional education distribution since 2020). The company is privately held with no disclosed external investment, no subsidiaries, and no public funding rounds, suggesting organic, self-funded growth at SME scale within the Italian market with limited international expansion signals beyond English-language website accessibility.
