Sustainability is part of how we design, produce and deliver great experiences. We’re committed to reducing environmental impact while creating events that generate positive value for our clients, communities and the wider industry.
Our approach contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDFG) 13 Climate Action and focuses on three priorities:
• Circularity
• Responsible procurement
• Stakeholder engagement
We design with circular thinking in mind, reducing waste, extending the life of materials and equipment and prioritising reuse wherever possible. We work with suppliers who share our commitment to ethical and sustainable practices and we collaborate closely with our partners to drive smarter, lower-impact solutions. By combining creativity with responsible production, we aim to deliver memorable events that are not only impactful, but also more sustainable.
Our aim as a responsible business is to create a future fit for everyone. We support a 1.5°C future and are aligning our climate mitigation targets in our aim to reach NetZero by 2050 at the latest. We commit to monitor, review and report on our progress on a quarterly basis and use the ongoing learnings to inform our approach to reducing emissions and waste across our operational activities.
We have signed the Net Zero Carbon Events Pledge, joining more than 600 organisations worldwide expressing their support for the campaign since its launch at Cop26.
The Net Zero Carbon Events initiative brings together industry stakeholders to:
• Communicate our industry’s commitment to tackling climate change
• Develop methodologies for measuring the industry’s greenhouse gas emissions
• Construct an industry-wide Roadmap towards Net Zero by 2050, and emissions reductions by 2030 in line with the Paris Agreement
• Encourage collaboration to ensure alignment and common approaches for reporting progress and sharing best practice
accountability culture
we recognise that adhering to this policy requires every member of our team to play their part.
We promote a shared accountability culture within our organisation, ensuring all team members work together to incorporate these sustainability goals into their day-to-day work routines and planning.
This will be achieved through training for staff, embedding these KPIs into our internal operational processes and engaging staff in the development of future KPIs.
