Environmental & Sustainability Policy
At Engage, we recognise that sustainability and environmental responsibility must form part of how we plan and deliver our work. Some of our activities, particularly event and exhibition projects, can have an environmental impact, and we are committed to managing these responsibly and reducing our environmental footprint wherever possible.
We aim to operate in ways that protect natural resources, reduce waste and encourage sustainable practices among our team, suppliers and clients.
Our Commitments
Waste and Materials Management
We work to reduce waste through efficient design, careful material selection and by specifying reusable or recyclable products wherever possible. We collaborate with suppliers who meet recognised environmental standards and who take responsibility for recycling materials at the end of their lifecycle.
Also, we encourage partners to minimise the use of materials, energy or processes that could be harmful to the environment, and to use sustainable timber, paper and packaging wherever practicable.
Energy and Water Use
We seek to reduce energy and resource consumption across our workplaces, productions and events. Where waste is generated, we are committed to ensuring it is managed and disposed of responsibly and in line with best practice.
Employee Engagement
Our team is encouraged to consider the environmental impact of their day-to-day activities, including:
- Avoiding unnecessary printing and using digital formats wherever possible
- Using recycled or unbleached paper when printing is essential
- Sharing presentations and documents digitally rather than as printed copies
- Turning off lights, computers and equipment when not in use
- Considering sustainability when selecting suppliers and materials during project planning
Transport and Travel
We aim to reduce business travel by using video conferencing and online collaboration tools wherever possible. When travel is required, we encourage the use of trains and public transport in preference to private cars or air travel, where practical.
Carbon & Climate Impact
Engage’s approach to measuring and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, including our Net Zero commitment and emissions reporting, is set out in our Carbon Reduction Plan (PPN 06/21).
Continuous Improvement
We are committed to reviewing this policy annually and updating it to reflect evolving standards, technology and good environmental practice.
Governance
Responsibility for this policy sits with the Directors of Engage Marketing Limited, who oversee environmental performance alongside related policies, including the Carbon Reduction Plan.
