Sustainability at the Gala

At Pentawards, we are committed to hosting our events in an environmentally and socially responsible way. For this year’s Gala in Amsterdam, here’s how we’re putting that commitment into action:

✔️A venue that’s a repurposed historical space, it’s wheelchair accessible, with a focus on a local sourcing, minimising transport and supplies a predominately vegetarian menu

✔️ No printed event brochures

✔️ Digital signage or made of eco-friendly or recyclable materials

✔️ Working with local suppliers for both materials and catering
