First Event: Hosting Eco-Conscious Corporate Events That Wow

Here at First Event, we're passionate about creating unforgettable experiences. But even the most dazzling event loses its shine if it comes at a cost to the environment. That's why we're championing sustainable corporate events – events that minimise environmental impact, without sacrificing creativity or engagement.

Why Go Green? It's a Win-Win!

Sustainable events aren't just good for the planet, they're good for business too. As the world becomes increasingly aware of eco-conscious practices, incorporating these into your corporate events is fast becoming a must. By hosting a sustainable event, you're demonstrating your commitment to environmental and social responsibility; a sure-fire way to impress clients, customers, partners, and potential recruits.

Greening Your Event: First Event’s Tips

Planning a sustainable event is about getting creative! Here's a sneak peek at how First Event makes your event eco-friendly, all while keeping it electrifying:

• Location, Location, Location: We'll help you find venues local to you that feature, for example, energy-efficient practices like on-site recycling and access to public transport. 
• Catering with a Conscience: Locally sourced, seasonal ingredients? Check. Plant-based options alongside delicious, ethically raised meat dishes? Absolutely. We'll create a menu that reduces food miles and caters to diverse dietary needs.
• Ditch the Disposable: Say goodbye to plastic water bottles and hello to reusable alternatives. We can even incorporate digital invitations, agendas and signage to minimise paper waste. Plus, we’ll help you to reuse materials, wherever you can and if you can’t, we’ll guide you in disposing of all materials correctly.
• Give Back and Be Rewarded: Partner with an environmental organisation and make a donation of your proceeds to a good cause. It's a team-building exercise with purpose! At First Event, we’re incredibly proud to be planting trees and offsetting our carbon footprint with Tree-Nation. They partner with reforestation projects around the world and allow businesses to contribute to real tree planting efforts to help combat climate change!
