Company Overview
ACF Events is a team-building and corporate events company. Operating as a smaller team, they handle up to 40-50 events per month during peak periods and have doubled in size since first achieving ECOsmart certification in 2022.
ACF Events partnered with Greengage to achieve ECOsmart certification after a major client proposal demanded sustainability credentials.
How did they do it?
Strategic Foundation
Partnered with Greengage to develop a comprehensive sustainability strategy from scratch, providing the framework and policies the company previously lacked beyond basic Health and Safety requirements.
Sustainable Sourcing
Implemented green venue selection processes using certified location filters and developed skills within the operations team to repurpose
waste materials into reusable resources.
Operational Transformation
Eliminated wasteful practices, including single-use cardboard activities and motorised vehicle events, while developing creative material reuse systems using recycled scaffolding and scrap metal for equipment.
Embedded Integration
Made sustainability a core part of business operations by incorporating discussions into every management meeting and ensuring all new team members are onboarded with sustainability principles.
