‘Consider our Impact’ is what we call our environmental policy.
We believe the work we make should leave things better than it found them – for the people in it, and for the world around it.
Sustainability isn’t separate from our vision to change lives through live experiences – it’s part of how we get there. People Group of Companies [PGC] is the parent company of People Live Limited and People FZ LLC.
Across all of our companies, we help brands and organisations connect with people face-to-face, through experiences that mean something.
We know that running events comes with real consequences – environmental, social, and economic, some positive and some not. We work to keep the negative ones as small as possible across all three areas, and to meet every legal and regulatory requirement that applies to us.
We audit our own compliance regularly against legislation and against this policy – track our progress, and keep improving how we run events and manage their environmental impact.
Transparency, stewardship, integrity, and inclusiveness sit behind everything we do in event management – the services we provide and the way we operate.
Alongside our core pillars of Love, Magic, and Power, they shape the difference we try to make, in the room, and in the community around it.
We think about sustainability at every stage of an event, from the first conversation, through planning and delivery, to what happens once it’s over.
Here’s what we’re currently working towards:
Community
We work with everyone in the community around an event, inviting perspectives from people of different backgrounds, and building around what our audiences actually need, because we’re all people. Growth, to us, isn’t about the size of our agency. It’s about the size of our impact.
Education
To educate our staff, suppliers, visitors, and clients on sustainable development, so good practice doesn’t stop with us.
Carbon
To achieve zero carbon emissions [net carbon zero] by 2050 in line with legislation set by countries such as the UK for our activities and services.
Zero Waste to Landfill
To make sure everything we use gets upcycled, reused, or recycled wherever possible and to avoid landfill altogether.
Economic
To make sure sustainable event management pays off financially, not just environmentally, through better efficiency, more viable repeat projects, and real benefit to the local SMEs we work with.
We’re committed to protecting the environment and preventing pollution across every event we make. This policy applies just as much to our suppliers, contractors, and service providers as it does to us and it takes the needs of end users, and our legacy, into account.
We want to lead on sustainability, not just comply with it, and to leave a lasting, positive legacy through our sustainability programmes.
