Our approach to sustainability.

Sustainability baked in.

Sustainability is fundamental to everything that we do at Legacy. It shapes how we design events, source materials, work with suppliers and measure impact.

Introduction.

A practical point of view.

We believe sustainable thinking is most effective when it is grounded in reality.

That means understanding constraints, making trade-offs openly, and prioritising actions that genuinely reduce impact without compromising the quality of the experience.

We don’t chase perfection or labels for their own sake. Instead, we focus on choices that scale, stand up to scrutiny and make a measurable difference over time.

Our mission.

To make sustainability intrinsic to successful event design and management.

Showcasing & inspiring.

By designing and delivering sustainable events for our clients, we help demonstrate what’s possible and raise expectations across the industry.

Connecting & empowering.

Through our sourcing and marketplace work, we connect event teams with suppliers and products that are sustainable in practice, not just on paper.

Measuring & rewarding.

Through training, audits and consultancy, we help organisations assess their impact, build confidence and improve over time.

Our approach.

How we turn intent into action.

Our process moves from inspiration and connection through to delivery, measurement and improvement. It’s designed to help teams make informed decisions, understand the impact of those decisions, and build better practices over time.

This approach underpins our event management, sourcing and consultancy work

Our areas of focus.

To keep sustainability practical and consistent, we assess impact across nine core themes. These themes help us prioritise actions, assess trade-offs and ensure nothing important is overlooked.

Carbon Footprint

Reduce energy consumption and food and travel related emissions.

Waste & Materials

Prioritise a circular economy: reduce, reuse, hire, and maximise waste diversion from landfill.

Environmental Stewardship

Protect natural resources and ecosystems.

Biodiversity & Habitat

Protect ecosystems and enhance biodiversity through sustainable practices.

Inclusion & Wellbeing

Create universal experiences where every attendee can participate fully.

Community & Legacy

Create lasting local benefit through authentic partnerships and economic contribution.

Resonance & Influence

Design transformative experiences that inspire lasting change and meaningful connections.

Ethical Sourcing

Ensure ethical supply chains with fair wages, transparency, and sustainable procurement.
