What is the relationship between GECoP and the DATE Toolkit?
The Green Events Code of Practice (GECoP), published by Vision for Sustainable Events and supported by LIVE and the Purple Guide, is an industry-developed set of nationally consistent guidelines for sustainable event management for event organisers, local authorities, environmental organisations, and the supply chain.
The DATE Toolkit, created by Andrew Lansley, enables performance assessment and gap analysis of practices aligned to the code. The toolkit also contains an opportunity to assess your event against the Attitude is Everything Charter, a framework that supports and encourages live event organisations to progress their inclusive practices for diverse disabled people across all areas of their business.
The GECoP Phase II (Version 2.0 - February 2025) of the DATE Toolkit, provided under license for exclusive use of the Green Events Code of Practice Pilot participants in 2026 (all rights reserved) for the purpose of assessing outdoor events. This page will continue to be updated with any amendments as the pilot progresses.
