FT Live Sustainability Statement
At FT Live, sustainability is a core consideration of our event planning and execution processes. As a leading B2B event company, we are committed to creating experiences that not only drive business growth and foster connections but also reduce our environmental footprint and promote sustainable practices. Here are the key ways in which we focus on sustainability:
Environmentally Conscious Venue Selection
We prioritise selecting venues that share our commitment to sustainability. This includes choosing locations that are accessible by public transportation to reduce carbon emissions and partnering with venues that have strong environmental policies in place, such as energy-efficient buildings, waste reduction programs, and water conservation measures.
Waste Reduction and Recycling Initiatives
We request comprehensive waste management strategies at our events. This includes reducing single-use plastics, and encouraging the use of reusable materials and encouraging venues to collaborate with local organisations to ensure that leftover food and materials are donated or repurposed whenever possible.
Sustainable Catering Options
Our catering partners have a strong commitment to sustainability, including prioritising locally sourced, organic, and seasonal ingredients to reduce food miles and support local economies. Additionally, where possible, we offer plant-based menu options.
Digital Innovation and Paperless Solutions
To minimise paper usage and paper waste, we leverage digital technology for event materials such as agendas, brochures, and tickets. Attendees are encouraged to use our event apps and online platforms for accessing information, networking, and participating in sessions. This not only reduces paper usage and paper waste but also enhances the overall attendee experience.
By integrating these sustainable practices into our event planning and execution, FT Live is dedicated to improving our impact on the environment while delivering exceptional experiences for our clients and attendees.
