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 2023 Annual Impact Report
2023 was our first full year of trading, and we are so proud of what we have achieved in that time! You can download and read our full annual report here.
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.
Our commitments to sustainability
01
Our team are Carbon Literate
All Worlds Better full time employees are trained and certified as Carbon Literate. As part of this certification, each team member must make pledges to build into the business strategy. You can read our pledges here. With this certification, our team understands climate change and how to communicate this.
03
We have joined the Carbon Accounting Alliance
The Carbon Accounting Alliance is a coalition of carbon accountants (the people who measure carbon emissions) to share data, learnings and also spark more widespread change through supporting new policies and guidance. As a member of the alliance, we are wholly dedicated to collaboration over competition when it comes to working to reduce the impacts of the climate crisis.
02
Our Roadmap to Net Zero
Our goal is to exceed the Paris Agreement targets and have set ourselves the following targets. Instead, we plan to reach a 25% reduction by the end of 2025, a 50% reduction by 2028 and Net Zero by 2040.
