We have established a comprehensive system to track and transparently communicate our carbon footprint. Through quarterly and annual assessments, we calculate and report our Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions. In sync with our broader sustainability objectives, we don't just stop at reporting; we go a step further. Throughout the year, we set strategic targets aligned with our overarching sustainability goals.

We have taken firm steps to ensure that our suppliers align with our values and share our dedication to sustainability and ethical conduct. We wholeheartedly believe that maintaining  relationships with those who prioritise the environment and modern slavery prevention is not just a choice but an imperative. 

We are currently working toward our ISO 14001 certification. With our sights set on this internationally recognised standard, we have meticulously established a comprehensive framework of policies and procedures designed to monitor and manage our environmental impact across all facets of our operations.

0% of our waste goes to landfill. On average 88% of our waste is recycled and 12% is sent to Energy Recovery but we believe we can do better. We are firm believers in the waste hierarchy and we have researched alternative waste streams such as re-use and donation to reduce the amount of waste produced overall.

Working in a reasonably old building and warehouse definitely has an impact on our energy use. Our energy comes from 100% renewable sources , we have implemented further policies and invested in technologies to improve the energy efficiency of our workplace. 

We have appointed a Sustainability and Social Impact Manager and a Sustainability Committee which meets once a quarter to discuss all things ESG, making sure all team members have input.

We've Gone Blue! When looking into carbon offsetting schemes in 2022 we decided to focus on ‘blue carbon’. Mangroves play a critical role in tropical and subtropical ecosystems, serving as a buffer where land meets sea. They act as coastal guardians, preserving our shorelines, enriching marine biodiversity, and sequestering 5 to 10 times more carbon than terrestrial ecosystems. Sadly, like many tree species, mangroves face threats. It's estimated that about 1% of mangroves are lost annually, endangering coastal communities. That's why we focus our offsetting efforts on Mangrove Restoration via Evertreen

We are truly honored to share that our commitment to sustainability has been recognised with two prestigious industry awards. The first,  'Best Sustainable Stand' award at the World Exhibition Awards, underscores our efforts to make a lasting impression while minimizing our carbon footprint on the global stage. The second, the 'Sustainability' award at the ESSA Awards, celebrates our holistic approach to sustainability that can be seen throughout our entire operation. These awards not only highlight our achievements but also motivate us to continue pushing boundaries and striving for excellence.

At our core, fostering collaboration and forging meaningful connections within the industry is a cornerstone of our ethos. We have recently become a member of isla, an independent body dedicated to championing sustainability within the events sector. This membership not only underscores our shared values but also amplifies our collective voice in advocating for greener, more responsible practices.

We are also headline sponsors of the highly anticipated CN Sustainability Summit 2023. This summit serves as a platform for industry leaders, innovators, and change-makers to network, exchange insights, and collectively pave the way toward a more sustainable future.
