At Unwritten Occasions, we are deeply committed to sustainability and the protection of our planet. We recognise the environmental impact of event planning and are dedicated to implementing eco-friendly practices in every aspect of our business. Our sustainability policy is designed to minimise our ecological footprint while delivering exceptional events that align with our clients’ values.
Sustainable Sourcing
- Materials and Decor: We prioritise the use of sustainable, recycled, or upcycled materials for event decor and signage.
- Local Vendors: To reduce carbon emissions associated with transportation, we collaborate with local suppliers and vendors whenever possible, supporting the local economy and community.
Waste Reduction
- Digital Planning: We minimise the use of paper in our planning process by leveraging digital tools for communication, proposals, and contracts.
- Food Waste: We work closely with caterers to plan appropriate meal quantities and options that reduce food waste. Leftover food is donated to local shelters, whenever possible.
- Recycling and Composting: At each event, we ensure proper recycling and composting practices are in place to handle waste responsibly.
Energy Efficiency
- Eco-friendly Lighting: We encourage the use of LED lighting and other energy-efficient lighting options to reduce energy consumption.
- Venue Selection: Preference is given to venues with proven energy-saving practices, such as the use of renewable energy sources or high-efficiency HVAC systems.
Carbon Footprint Reduction
- Transportation: We encourage the use of shared transportation options for guests and staff and select venues that are accessible by public transportation.
- Carbon Offsetting: For larger events, we explore opportunities to offset carbon emissions through reputable carbon offset programs.
Continuous Improvement
- Education and Awareness: We educate our team, vendors, and clients on the importance of sustainability in event planning.
- Innovation: We continuously seek out new and innovative ways to enhance our sustainability practices.
- Feedback and Evaluation: After each event, we evaluate our sustainability efforts and seek feedback to improve our practices further.
Our commitment to sustainability is integral to our mission of creating unforgettable events while respecting and protecting the environment. We believe that every step toward sustainability makes a difference and we are dedicated to leading by example in the event planning industry. Together with our clients, vendors, and partners, Unwritten Occasions is proud to contribute to a more sustainable future.
