Latin America. d&b group announced the latest update to its SustainSymphony platform, a cloud-based sustainability management software designed for the live events industry.
The update now closely aligns SustainSymphony with the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations to address a wide range of global sustainability and equality issues.

Key improvements include:
SDG integration: Event activities and data collection related to the 17 SDGs are clearly marked on the platform's interface, making it easy for users to integrate sustainability goals into their event planning.
SDG Matrix in Event Reports: An SDG matrix has been added to event reports, providing organizers with a detailed overview of how their event activities align with each of the 17 SDGs.
Robert Trebus, Head of Global Sustainability at d&b group, highlighted the value of the SustainSymphony platform in supporting their efforts to drive sustainability within the live events industry. "With the new features, event organizers can demonstrate their commitment to global sustainability efforts in a clear and practical way. This supports their intention to have a significant impact on the global SDG goals, ensuring that their events are successful and part of a wider sustainability movement."
The update is immediately available to all SustainSymphony users at no additional cost.
