♻️ Our Sustainable Events Playbook – Linking to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
We’ve aligned our Sustainable Events Playbook with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This helps us benchmark our performance against an internationally recognised set of goals and it’s the perfect opportunity to contribute to a better world.
Devising a global plan to make measurable improvements isn’t easy. That’s why the United Nations asked businesses, non-profits, individuals, and government agencies to collaborate on solving society’s substantial global problems and the SDGs developed following this consultation.
“We are determined to protect the planet from degradation, including through sustainable consumption and production, sustainably managing its natural resources and taking urgent action on climate change, so that it can support the needs of the present and future generations.”
Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
What are the SDGs?
They are a collection of seventeen interlinked objectives designed to serve as a “shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future”.
While we commit to all 17 goals, we have chosen to champion specific goals. We are paying particular attention to the following goals:
Goal 3. Good health and wellbeing.
We take steps to ensure the health and well-being of our staff, suppliers and customers, including both physical and mental health alongside enrichment and growth.
Goal 8. Decent work and economic growth.
We provide well-paid quality jobs in a thriving sector that benefits the UK and Irish economies. And we support the development and growth of young people in our locations.
Goal 9. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure.
We have a track record of innovating for success and for disrupting our industry.
Goal 11. Sustainable Cities and Communities.
We run events in various locations bringing work and prosperity. We give back to community projects by donating time, expertise and items and always use local suppliers where possible.
Goal 12. Responsible consumption and production.
We know that events are bad for the planet. That’s why we implemented our Playbook – To minimise and control our contribution to this environmental impact.
Goal 13. Climate action.
Our Playbook was designed specifically to help tackle climate change. One of our business values is Protect the planet and we live by that mantra every day.
Our Sustainable Events Playbook is currently in the process of being accredited by Green Meetings.
We always have an eye on environmental and societal issues and incorporate that into the way we run our everyday business.
