The economics of environmental sustainability

Dare Ilori is the Group Sustainability Director at Merlin Entertainments.

Dare Ilori

Last year at greenloop 22, he set out how sustainability professionals can “get the Board on board” with their green strategies.

We need sustainability because it helps us. It helps to mitigate against risk and to build brand trust. It also helps to reduce costs and it helps with the business growth.

Dare Ilori, Group Sustainability Director at Merlin Entertainments

This year Dare will be discussing the economics of environmental sustainability, including examples from projects. The session starts at 10am BST on 26 April.

Why you should attend greenloop?

With all visitor attractions needing to decarbonise and become more sustainable, greenloop will provide practical, actionable advice and case studies for our attendees, with take-aways that they can put into practice, as well as inspirational insights from industry leaders.

When it comes to solving really big challenges, like how do we build sustainable theme parks, resorts and cruise ships around the world, it takes all of us and all of these different industries coming together.

And that’s what’s great about greenloop … our collaboration is key to really think about how we build sustainable themed entertainment experiences.

Emily Dow, Design Studio Executive with Walt Disney Imagineering at greenloop 2021

greenloop aims to connect sustainability leaders from across the attractions industry to enable us to move more quickly towards a more sustainable future.

greenloop is a must-attend event, crossing boundaries to bring together really thought-provoking insights and ideas around the way visitor attractions can not only minimise their environmental impact on the planet, but also act as catalysts for positive change.

I cannot think of another event which goes near greenloop as a concentrated dollop of practical green inspiration – a must-attend for several of our team.

Dominic Hare, CEO Blenheim
