Sustainable event production can feel like a challenge, but it’s a vital aspect of our role as event producers that simply won’t (and shouldn’t) be going away…

We’re by no means perfect, but we’re keen to continue learning how we can make sustainability a priority, creating events, installations and trails that are both innovative and conscious.

In our latest reel, we’ve highlighted some ways in which we did so this year.

Sustainability is an element of event production we’re determined to keep at the top of the agenda. Sarah Meredith, Health & Safety Advisor at We Are OPS, is a member of Vision for Sustainable Events Steering Group, which invites event professionals from selected organisations to discuss and push forward environmental strategy for the events sector.

In 2024, we embedded sustainability and accountability as new company-wide aspirational values. Our team delivered the first company-wide sustainability training with support from Chris Johnson of Vision: 2025 to help establish a base level carbon literacy, and encourage team members to take action. Further to this, we have developed new resources including briefing documents for power, waste and water suppliers, as well as a new Sustainability Policy setting out our approach and priorities.
