♻️ What’s the problem with events anyway?
We’re changing how corporate events are run and delivered for our clients. The reason?
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.
- 100+ million disposable plastic cups are used at events every year.
- Roller banners account for 550 tonnes of PVC waste sent to landfills in the UK, with less than 1% recycled.
- The UK events industry emits 1.2 billion kg of CO2e yearly.
- 20% of food prepared for events goes to waste (sometimes as much as 60%).
- 176kg CO2e emissions per delegate per day at a conference.
“Every single person in a business should take responsibility to make a difference in everything they do.”
Richard Branson
On average, an event attendee produces 1.89kg of waste per day – 85% of which finds its way to landfill.
The stats put into perspective the true and vast impact of the industry. The events industry has a big part to play, ensuring sustainability is at its heart when running operations.
We commit to changing how we produce events for our clients and are implementing our groundbreaking sustainable events playbook. It will directly address and work towards reducing the impacts of the event industry in every single way. We put the planet first by eliminating all the harmful elements from our productions. We prepare, plan for better outcomes and adopt a mindset that challenges the status quo.
