Vision

We strive to reduce the community’s carbon footprint for the sake of our planet and our children's children.

​

Principles

Within our business we are guided and committed to the following principles:-

 

• Integrity – to be true and honest at all times

• Strong Leadership – lead by example

• Transparency – hide nothing

• Continuous Improvement and Best Practice – always seek new and better ways to conduct our business with a special focus on reducing energy, carbon emissions and packaging whilst increasing recycling

• Sustainable Work Practices – reduce, reuse and recycle.

 

Our Ability and Duty to Act

We believe that we have the power to make a positive human impact on the diverse people in our world.

 

Our attention to environmental, social and economic responsibility includes working within the law and voluntarily exceeding legal requirements in order to be innovative and demonstrate leadership on the issues that are important to us (and our family).  As we design experiences, execute events and evaluate our successes we are able to choose every day in the big and small ways our actions and words build a better more sustainable world for us, clients, suppliers and our family.
