ESG

We are committed to reducing the Event Express powered by arrangeMY environmental footprint and promoting sustainability improvements across our operations.

Our initiatives include:

• Carbon Neutrality: We aim to achieve Net Zero by 2040. This involves calculating our Scope 1, 2 & 3 emissions and having effective Carbon Reduction Plans in place. We are continuously looking at further efficient environmental improvements and sustainable energy investment options.
• Waste Reduction: We prioritise reducing waste through recycling, responsible sourcing, and sharing waste reduction targets with colleagues.
• Resource Conservations: Our efforts include optimising energy use – in 2024 we proudly installed solar panels in our offices, we operate a water reduction programme and have implemented sustainable practices into our supply chain.

At Event Express powered by arrangeMY, we are dedicated to fostering a diverse, inclusive workplace and giving back to the communities we serve:

• Diversity and Inclusion: We promote equal opportunities, value every individual, and ensure all staff share in our success when targets are met.
• Community Engagement: We support local charities, volunteer programmes, and partnerships that improve education and well-being.
• Employee Well-being: We prioritise health, mental well-being, and work-life balance with schemes like health contributions and ethical pension options.

Strong governance is crucial to our success and sustainability. Our governance framework includes:

• Ethical Practices: We adhere to the highest ethical standards in our business practices, ensuring transparency and accountability in our decision-making processes.
• Stakeholder Engagement: We actively engage with our stakeholders—employees, customers, suppliers, and board of directors—to gather feedback and improve our ESG initiatives.
• Compliance and Reporting: We regularly assess our ESG performance and report transparently on our progress, ensuring accountability and continuous improvement. We were one of the first Travel Management Companies in the UK to be awarded an ISO 14001 accreditation.

We have implemented Staff Sustainability KPIs to educate and empower our team in various aspects of ESG, contributing to our overall sustainability targets. These initiatives will help reduce resource pressures, enhance energy efficiency, and minimise waste.

Additionally, we have integrated a Supplier Sustainability Survey into our annual RFP process. The results will serve as a valuable resource for tracking compliance and improvement within our supply chain.

We’ve also created a comprehensive database of our suppliers’ ESG initiatives, accessible through a weblink. This resource showcases their achievements and reinforces their commitment to environmental responsibility without diluting their successes.

Our sustainable goals are registered with the SME Climate Hub. We operate around the three P’s—People, Planet, Profit—believing that our culture and mindset are essential to our success. We take pride in our high staff retention rates, as our team is critical to our ongoing achievements.

We can provide our clients with carbon reporting information on greenhouse gas emissions generated on bookings placed with Event Express powered by arrangeMY – at present our data uses DEFRA emission conversion factors. Our partnership with Smart Carbon drives us toward excellence as we work diligently toward our Net Zero targets.

We are transitioning our fleet of company cars to hybrid or fully electric vehicles, with many already compliant.

One of our proudest accomplishments is establishing an Event Express powered by arrangeMY Charity Centre of Excellence, staffed by experts dedicated to supporting and achieving significant savings for our charity clients.

To give back to our communities, we offer all staff, flexible Volunteer Days, allowing staff to support a local charity of their choice while receiving their regular pay.
