Sustainability
We don't just talk the talk, we walk the walk, too.
As an event sustainability consultancy, it's paramount to our business vision that we implement the solutions we recommend to our clients. Here's a bit about our own sustainability journey:
Our purpose is to make the World Better, one sustainable event at a time
At Worlds Better, our mission is to help clients and the events industry to produce far more sustainable events. We plan to achieve this by creating radical compound global change by furthering our science, sharing knowledge widely and empowering so many people to produce sustainable, positive impact events as the norm, rather than the exception. To help us to achieve this mission, we want to share some of the work we are doing within our own business to improve our processes, knowledge and ultimately create something that is beneficial to our community and our environment.
