The media embargo is lifted, and we are delighted to announce that we have successfully gained Innovate UK grant funding from the Creative Catalyst competition. 

Innovate UK was looking for a clear opportunity for proposed innovation that would benefit the UK creative industry and the wider UK economy. They bought into our creative solution for corporate events. 

Our vision is to help corporate organisations minimise the environmental impact of their events. This will tie in with their corporate sustainability. We are currently in the process of developing a reporting and measuring platform for corporate events. Our platform will enable clients to measure the exact impact of their events, providing detailed Scope 1, 2 and 3 emission figures and data that will help them improve future events and become a more sustainable business.

This exciting development means we can continue our sustainable events revolution at pace. We shake up how corporate events are produced and make them completely sustainable. 

So why are we doing this? 

Corporate events are essential to business life, but they put increased strain on natural resources, local infrastructure and the environment. They contribute to unnecessary environmental damage, often generating significant waste, excessive single-use items and additional carbon.

The platform will accurately measure the environmental impact of corporate events. 

• Provides insights and data on carbon, waste and single-use items.
• Aligned with the UK’s Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting (SECR) policy and the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) policy. 
• Data is gathered from validated sources, including government and NGOs.
• Toolkit and education so that clients can make better decisions.
• Methodology aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

“I am delighted that we’ve received this funding. It reflects our efforts and ambitions to create high-quality but very sustainable events.”
