The GingerBiscuit team has loved being part of this incredible initiative.

"In 2018, Meetings magazine – together with the support of the South Africa National Convention Bureau – launched the Women in MICE Mentorship and Development Initiative. This was intended as a resource for women within the industry who wanted to give back
through mentorship. During this year, the initiative has gained momentum and saw the official roll-out of the pilot Women in MICE Mentorship Programme in partnership with Queen Ramotsehoa, executive coach and founder of the Tsheto Leadership and Coaching Academy"

𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 | 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽𝘀

GingerBiscuit provides training and workshops in line with various aspects of sustainability and our areas of focus.

Types of GingerBiscuit training:

Elemental Environmental Awareness
We go back to basics and unpack the foundations behind waste, energy, food, and water.

The Climate Crisis
We explore what the climate crisis is, the causes of climate change, and the various impacts of it.

The Human Story
We delve deeper into the impact which various environmental aspects have on our lives as human beings, alongside the effects of the climate crisis and what we can do to manage it more effectively.

Event Greening
We provide an introduction to event greening and sustainable event management, as well as various practices and tools to make use of within this space.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽𝘀?

Training is the art of providing information and instruction to a student. Skills development, knowledge transference, tutoring, and coaching are aspects of training at both an organizational and individual level.

Workshops, while also being able to facilitate with the above, are typically more hands-on and experiential. During a session, we can brainstorm, create, design, and generate analysis around a topic, further supporting individuals, employees, and organizations.

Our training and workshops also integrate effectively into our sustainability coaching services.

"𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗱𝗼" 𝗪𝗲𝗱𝗻𝗲𝘀𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗚𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗕𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝗶𝘁.

𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

GingerBiscuit provides a fully integrated sustainable event management service. From concept creation, strategy, planning and marketing support, to implementation, management and monitoring for live, hybrid, and virtual events.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁?

Sustainable event management is the process used to produce an event from start to finish that implements to varying degrees the three main pillars of sustainability and may also be referred to as event-greening.

An event that aims to be sustainable takes into consideration the environmental, social and economic impacts of the event and incorporates responsible and ethical decision-making throughout the process.

The efficiency and effectiveness of selected event-greening interventions are monitored and measured in terms of the value the event adds in the environmental, social, and economic domains and the positive impact on people's lives and the surrounding environment. We cannot monitor what we do not measure.

No event may be called green or sustainable until after the event has taken place and audited by an outsourced accredited third-party to ensure the integrity of the event and to guard against greenwashing.

Not all clients choose certification for a first, second or third event, and often start the process slowly by making small changes to certain aspects of an event, eventually leading up to the certification of their events.

In addition to our services, GingerBiscuit also collaborates with knowledgeable industry professionals within this space that can provide the event auditing and certification alongside our team to deliver the required solutions for all your sustainable event needs.
