Since our involvement in the eco-driven protest movements of the 1990s we have always considered ourselves to be part of our environment and have strived towards a low-waste, low emissions way of doing things. We want our events to have a big impact on people, not on the environment. Site specific work should compliment the surroundings, not damage them.
Daisy studied, then taught Event Sustainability at degree level; guiding the next generation to build in sustainability throughout the planning stages, not as an add on or box ticking exercise.
We understand that to be sustainable we must consider the social, financial and environmental impacts of what we do. Much of our work is community focussed, engaging with local people and proving that art can be accessible and that creativity and expression come in many forms.
We consider the supply chain and product lifecycle when buying anything in and aim to reuse, repurpose and hire rather than being a stopgap between warehouse and landfill, sourcing locally whenever possible. We also aim to deal with suppliers who take sustainability seriously.
We understand that to operate sustainably is a process, not an easy goal and that each event has its own set of challenges. By recognising and addressing these using a sustainable action plan model we can continually improve and learn as we do so.
Our investment in bespoke battery inverter systems is a key example of our long term commitment to improving the sustainability of the events industry.
