AT D3 EVENTS, WE BELIEVE IN MORE THAN JUST CREATING MEMORABLE EVENTS – WE ARE COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABILITY.
SUSTAINABILITY
We care about our common nature and environment, and we believe that everyone should do their part to protect the planet. From reducing our carbon footprint to promoting eco-friendly practices, we strive to weave sustainability into the fabric of every event we create.
As a company, and as individuals, we fully understand that caring for our environment is fundamental to assuring a sustainable future for all, in keeping with our company goals. This impacts how we manage the day-to-day operations of the office, how we manage events and our relationships with partners, clients and suppliers. We believe in making real change in small steps, working from the ground upwards. This bottom-up approach is key to the D3 Events mindset.
OUR MINDSET
We believe that events have the power not only to inspire and entertain but also to contribute meaningfully to a sustainable future. We are proud to align our values with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We support and use the SDGs in determining how to measure and assess D3 Events' Impact.
The 17 goals established by the United Nations provide a guiding framework for organisations to develop strategies to achieve the outlined goals. They cover a broad range of social and economic development issues. These include poverty, hunger, health, education, climate change, gender equality, water, sanitation, energy.
