Sustainability should support good events, not get in their way.
Thoughtful, practical, sustainable events
We help organisations plan and deliver events that reflect their values, without adding unnecessary complexity.
About Legacy
Founder.
Our story.
Abena’s background is in sustainability rather than events. Early in her career as a Space Scientist, she saw first-hand the effects of rising emissions on planetary systems and the urgency of changing course.
After more than 15 years working across architecture, engineering and social organisations, a recurring frustration became clear. Events organised by values-led organisations often failed to reflect those values in practice.
Legacy was founded to bridge that gap.

Who we work with.
Partners we trust.
We work with a small group of partners whose expertise complements our own. These relationships allow us to bring together the right skills when projects need deeper specialism, whether that’s carbon measurement, materials, technology or sustainability standards.
Each partner is chosen for their credibility, practical approach and shared commitment to doing things properly.
Sustainability.
A practical point of view.
Sustainability is part of how we think, not something we add on at the end. We focus on making informed decisions that work in practice, taking account of real-world constraints such as budgets, timelines and delivery complexity. Where there are trade-offs, we are clear about them, and we work with clients to find approaches that are responsible, realistic and aligned with what they are trying to achieve.
Let’s talk about your event.
If you’re planning an event and would like to discuss the options, we’re happy to have an initial conversation.
