OUR STORY
Abena Fairweather
Founder
Abena’s passion for sustainability was sparked early on in her career as a Space Scientist, where she witnessed first hand the alarming impacts of rising emissions on planetary systems and the urgent need to change course. Prior to founding Legacy, Abena worked as a senior member of the Sustainability team for an internationally renowned architecture practice, as a Consultant at one of the world’s largest multidisciplinary engineering companies and inhouse as the Sustainability Manager at a social organisation.
Abena has always been passionate about supporting and scaling solutions that can have a transformative impact on pressing social and environmental issues. After over 15 years of striving to drive change, Abena was struck by the disconnect in 2016 – why didn’t the events she was involved with reflect the purposeful values of the organisation? Knowing events have profound power to shape community consciousness, Abena founded Legacy to bridge this gap.
Legacy brings Abena’s mission of revolutionising the events sector to life. Her team helps renowned clients like Spotify, GE and Formula E coordinate fully sustainable conferences, product launches, activations, away days, incentives and more. As Legacy’s Founder and Managing Director, Abena key strengths lie in simplifying complex sustainability into implementable solutions for event planning. Beyond organising, through training, workshops, audits and bespoke advice, she supports event professionals to embed sustainability into any event’s DNA.
Abena has contributed extensively to publications, blogs and lectures, establishing herself as a thought leader in the sector. A Chartered Scientist with 20+ years in sustainability and leadership, Abena has grown Legacy into an award-winning agency, including the Conference News’ award for CSR and the Conference Awards Silver award for Sustainability.
Her vision is to inspire a movement where environmentally sustainable and socially responsible events become the new norm – not through restriction and sacrifice, but through collectively establishing sustainability as an engine for more vibrant, bold and creative events than the industry has seen before.
