Why deliver sustainable events?

Events are a great platform to express corporate responsibility as they can influence and socially impact a venue destination and its local communities.  In-person events specifically need to be run in a responsible way.

Benefits include:

  • Financial advantages: conserving energy, reducing waste, purchasing local products and consuming less
  • Positive reputation and improved image
  • Social benefits: creating jobs, encouraging local investment, involving regional SMEs, better working conditions and social inclusion
  • Triggering innovation: development of innovative technologies and techniques
  • Raising awareness and inspiring change

During Covid, Semlep’s Growth Hub had to quickly deliver a series of webinars to support local businesses.

Our solution

We planned, designed, sourced speakers, promoted and delivered a programme of webinars in collaboration with business support stakeholders, to support businesses through the difficulties caused by coronavirus.

‘Top-Notch’ sustainable virtual event

The client’s challenge

Innovate UK needed help with content design for their yearly conference/exhibition aimed to entrepreneurs, businesses, support agencies and practitioners active in, or who want to learn more about, innovation in the South East Midlands.

Our solution

We produced the virtual session “working with Universities to commercialise new products and services”. 

We recruited and liaised with business support organisations to present their products and services at the online exhibition. We run meetings with attendees on a specific provider’s virtual exhibition stand.

“Thank you for all your help in developing the first Innovate UK- Semlep online conference with a specific university speaker session and the exhibition. Your attention to details throughout pre-production and racing days ensured the event run smoothly. Guessed were thrilled with the quality of the design. It felt like you were an extended member of our team”.

    Blend of sustainable in-person and virtual

    The client’s challenge

    Green Sense’s client objectives were to bring together staff, partners, government clients and investors in an annual event in London, provide an opportunity for their partners to share their knowledge and expertise, develop existing relationships and make new meaningful business and investment connections.

    Our solution

    We teamed up with Green Sense Events to deliver a carbon neutral hybrid conference and exhibition event. This involved carbon footprint measurement, a waste management plan, sustainable suppliers management, setting-up and managing the Cvent platform and on-site project management.

    “Emmanuelle and I worked together to plan, manage and deliver a sustainable event for the client, gathering the carbon data to estimate the carbon footprint at the beginning of the contract, setting up the registration and virtual platform, sourcing suppliers, and then managing the virtual element of the event across the two days in London. It was brilliant to work with someone who shares my passion for sustainability. Emmanuelle was professional and had a real can-do attitude throughout, ensuring the event was an absolute success”.

    Lisa Sweeting, Founder, Green Sense Events

    Crème de la crème event: sustainable in-person event

     The client’s challenge

    Speed Communication’s corporate client was looking for sustainable event management support to organise a London dinner (then changed to Birmingham) for 60 hospitality industry professionals and media guests to showcase a new media campaign. The event consisted of a zero-waste or sustainable sit-down meal, a speaker panel and a magic element highlighting waste that businesses don’t realise they create.

    Our solution

    We searched and liaised with sustainable venues in London and Birmingham and suppliers for entertainment and carbon measurement, offering a sustainable private dinner package with suitable sustainable venues, menu suggestions and a magic act aiming to position the client as an expert in the hospitality sector and a leader in sustainability.

    “Emmanuelle was lovely to work with. She understood our brief and suggested a series of suitable sustainable venue options, as well as an evaluation partner. She was always available and responsive to a change of location. We look forward to working again together.”

    The client’s challenge

    Brite Green’s client was looking to develop a comprehensive strategy that will embed appropriate sustainability practices into current operations with supporting targets and objectives, as well offering a specialist sustainable events service.

    Our solution

    In order to position the client as a leader in sustainable events, we conducted a review of:

    Its operations including event location visits to determine the way in which sustainability issues were relevant to the company’s unique business

    Existing practices and opportunities through staff interviews

    The sustainable events approach taken by competitors.

    The review assessed the current management approach and  identified opportunities for improvement in sustainable event processes.

    “Emmanuelle worked with us to develop a sustainability strategy for a leading event management company. Her insight and knowledge of the event management sector, its challenges and opportunities, impacts and responsibilities was very valuable. She assessed the client’s readiness and opportunities to drive sustainable events as a market position, and her strategic insight combined with practical know-how of implementation significantly contributed to the development of a sustainable business strategy”.

    Project managed a global events programme (conferences, clinical webinars, workshops) in conjunction with Country Directors

    Provided frequent engaging content – news, articles, imagery, videos, and more to spark discussion in the community and drive engagement

    Managed activity metrics for the community, monitored and reported on member feedback, continued to look at areas of improvement and brought all findings back to the wider business.

      What our clients say

      “I found Emmanuelle’s inputs very thorough and extremely professional. She gave consideration to all aspects of the event conception, planning, design and messaging in a creative and cohesive way. This included liaising with high-ranking experts like key speakers, and copywriting key messages for the target audience through well selected promotional channels.

      “This holistic approach to the event management yielded the outcomes we desired: a very well attended event comprising an audience of engaged professionals and interested individuals who went away knowing much more than they did when they arrived. Many wanted to know how they could get more closely engaged with Cranfield University in the field of ‘future transport innovation’, which was the core topic of the event.”

      Ian Chapman, Head of Regional Engagement and Corporate Projects, Cranfield University

      “Having discovered that Milton Keynes is the main UK centre for driverless vehicle technology, with both Transport Systems Catapult and Cranfield University, being major players, I was eager to know more. Emmanuelle took this on and organised a brilliant event with speakers who covered the whole spectrum of current activity and future possibilities to change the way we travel. Emmanuelle overcame a lot of the challenges to bring this excellent event together and the whole audience was very appreciative””

      Sarah Tibble, Quantiv

      “Habitat for Humanity Great Britain worked with Emmanuelle to plan an important event supporting our work in the Middle East. As it was hosted at one of the royal palaces, and many of the guests were key donors of the charity, we needed to work with an event organiser who could quickly understand the needs of the charity, and ensure that all the important details were covered. I’m glad to say that Emmanuelle provided excellent support and service throughout, and the feedback we received from our guests after the event was very positive.”

      Tum Kazunga, CEO Habitat for Humanity

      “Emmanuelle was a great asset to me and my team throughout the whole event management process, from concept right through to ‘the big day. Emmanuelle brought a lot of experience to the team and I found her to be diligent, enthusiastic and totally reliable. With her input, we were able to run a number of successful international trips and local UK-based events which were unique, aligned with our brand and from which we received positive feedback from supporters.”

      Mary Smith, Head of Specialist Giving, World Vision

      “Emmanuelle is so personable, willing and hard-working. She works with passion and drive and is a great asset to any organisation”
