SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT:

- We prioritise the sourcing of preloved and vintage decor and props whenever possible.

- We are working towards carefully selecting suppliers based on their commitment to environmental and social responsibility.

- We aim to work with local artisans and suppliers supporting the local economy where possible to minimise carbon emissions from transportation.

RESOURCE CONSERVATION:

- We strive to minimise consumption of natural resources by reusing items and minimising carbon emissions from transportation.

- We encourage clients to return hired items in good condition for future events, reducing the need for new purchases.

- We aim to minimise packaging waste and choose to reuse any packaging obtained and sustainable packaging materials where possible.

WASTE, REDUCTION & RECYCLING

- We actively promote waste reduction by encouraging clients to consider the durability and reusability of items before purchasing.

- We implement proper waste management practices by separating and recycling waste generated from our operations.

- We are working on collaborating with local recycling facilities to ensure items that can no longer be used are properly recycled or disposed of.

CARBON NEUTRALITY

- We are committed to achieving carbon neutrality in our travel, supply chain and delivery process.

- We are working towards prioritising eco-friendly modes of transportation whenever feasible, such as cycling, walking, vehicle sharing or public transport for local deliveries.

- We offset the remaining carbon emissions through verified carbon offset projects to ensure a net-zero carbon impact, i.e. tree planting directories.

CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT

- We regularly evaluate and improve our sustainability practices to ensure we are achieving our goals.

- We keep up with advancements in sustainable solutions and technologies to identify new ways to reduce our environmental footprint.

- We encourage feedback from our clients, community and stakeholders to continuously drive our sustainability efforts.
