Sustainable Future Reception

CHALLENGE

Deliver a networking cocktail reception to close out a week at the Farnborough Air Show to showcase & celebrate our client’s investment in a sustainable future to 150 senior stakeholders and government representatives.

APPROACH

Hosted at the Design Museum in London, UK (recently awarded the highest BREEAM rating), FIRST looked to elevate this highly anticipated event with fully eco-friendly solutions at every step, whilst delivering a fun, interactive networking experience, expert content presentations, all with a celebratory ‘after-party’ feel to mark the end of the Air Show.

SOLUTION

FIRST refined every element of the experience to the highest level of ESG consideration by leveraging supplier partners and consulting with our in-house and ESG experts.  The event delivered uplifting content presentations in an exciting setting with demonstrable future-focused sustainable and ethical design.

RESULTS

  • 100% of non-hazardous waste was recycled, reused, or otherwise diverted from landfills.

  • 100% of timber and build materials were recycled or reused, all having been sourced and produced sustainably originally.

  • 100% of decorative, ambient homeware was returned to our local production company in line with their ‘Zero Waste to Landfill’ strategy.

  • 100% of plants and foliage were donated to Floral Angels, a registered local charity that repurposes decorative botanicals and delivers to care homes, shelters, refuges, community centres and local hospitals to give them a new lease of life.

  • 100% of hardier plants were donated to the Thrive Battersea Garden Project who provide space and resources for over 90 disabled people who benefit from gardening therapy.

“A heartfelt thank you and congratulations to all for such a successful event! We could not be happier with the result…. The attention to every detail, [the team’s] availability and agility, as well as professionalism did not go unnoticed.”
