The top 5 reasons to sponsor the Vision Zero Waste Seminar Gauteng 2012

Brand Association and Connection

By connecting your brand with the Vision Zero Waste Seminar Gauteng, the partner organisations and the various VIP speakers and guests, your organisation will be positioned as a leader in this exciting space. Depending on strategic objectives, sponsors are able to connect their brands with the various ideals and themes that are associated with Sustainable Zero Waste management.

Demonstrate Corporate Responsibility

Sponsors of the Vision Zero Waste Seminar enjoy the benefit of being able to profile their social/environmental initiatives, projects and programmes. Current market perception of companies who are targeting triple bottom line strategies has never been higher. Within the waste sector there are meaningful opportunities for companies that are prepared to embrace and demonstrate a responsible approach to the way that they do business. Customers want to do business with responsible companies and employees want to work for these same companies.

Maximise Exposure to a Targeted Audience

Sponsors of the Vision Zero Waste Seminar will enjoy significantly higher exposure to the attending audience and the broader industry both leading up to and during the event. In a relatively suppressed media environment, sponsors are able to leverage their event involvement to the full by enjoying significant exposure. Waste industry professionals are under pressure to impress and deliver to new standards and are alive to corporate messages that are aligned with their work.

Maximise Return on Investment

Massive investment in green technologies, renewable energy sources and sustainable materials has produced the emergence of a new green economy. The organizations that embrace these trends now and demonstrate thought leadership in environmental concerns will be the organizations that benefit from the emergence of this new market. The nature of the Vision Zero Waste Seminar is such that Sponsors are able to use the facilities and features at their disposal to engage with their most important clients and suppliers in order to drive sales and relationships.

Maximise Return on Objective

In addition to the pure commercial outcomes that sponsors aim for, there exists a platform for sponsors to achieve a return on other objectives such as communication, brand equity and association, relationship building, PR content creation and staff development/ training. Sponsors are assisted by the alive2green team to explore the various secondary returns that exist for them around the event.

The Greatest Reason

It is up to us to take a stand on what matters. It matters to your employees, to your customers and your suppliers and to our future generations. We cannot continue to ignore pressing issues such as climate change, deforestation and the myriad other conditions that beset a struggling planet. These are not the idealistic fantasies of a few fundamentalist tree-huggers; these are very real threats to our civilization. Together we must make a difference to reverse these trends. By sponsoring you are playing a part by bringing innovative ideas to those that have the power to make changes. In order to make our planet sustainable for the future, there is no time like the present to commit. Activate your corporate desire and take a stand towards sustaining the future of our planet.
