Case Study: Pioneering a Sustainable Esports Future

The Challenge
EFI, a global leader in organizing high-profile esports events, wanted to create a one-of-a-kind summit that focused on the future of esports while being mindful of their environmental footprint. They approached Regenify to help design and implement a sustainability strategy for their inaugural Esports Future Summit in Abu Dhabi.
The goal was clear: make this event a benchmark for how esports events can drive positive change and lead the charge toward a more sustainable future. From waste reduction to carbon footprint management, every detail had to align with global ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) best practices.
Our Approach
At Regenify, we specialize in creating sustainability solutions that are impactful and easy to implement. For the Esports Future Summit, we worked closely with EFI to ensure every aspect of the event was aligned with their sustainability goals. Here’s how we did it:
1. Developing the Sustainability Strategy
We started by developing a comprehensive sustainability strategy that not only met but exceeded global ESG standards. This roadmap served as a foundation for the event, ensuring that all operations, from venue selection to post-event reporting, were aligned with sustainability principles.
2. Carbon Footprint Assessment
A critical part of the planning was conducting a carbon footprint assessment. This allowed us to identify key areas where emissions could be reduced, such as transportation, energy usage, and material sourcing.
3. Eco-Friendly Event Design
We worked with the event organizers to ensure that the summit was environmentally friendly. From using recyclable materials for signage to sourcing locally-produced food and beverages, every element was carefully considered to reduce the event’s environmental impact.
4. Digital Programs
Eliminated paper by offering digital agendas, maps, and schedules via event apps or QR codes. Avoided printing unless absolutely necessary.
5. Measuring Success & Reporting
After the event, we provided a detailed sustainability impact report that showcased the steps taken to reduce the environmental footprint, the success of those efforts, and recommendations for future improvements.
The Impact
The Sustainable Esports Future Summit has become a model for how esports events can drive sustainability without compromising on the experience or quality. EFI now leads by example, showing the industry that it’s possible to host world-class events that are both socially responsible and environmentally conscious.
Conclusion
This collaboration between Regenify and EFI highlights the power of integrating sustainability into event planning. By focusing on responsible practices at every stage, we not only helped EFI deliver an exceptional event but also contributed to a greener future for the esports industry.
