Driving sustainable change for a
brighter future
At Encore Event Technologies, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices in all aspects of our business operations. We recognise that our operations can significantly impact the environment, including energy consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water consumption, and waste generation.
An environmental strategy is under way at our Global Headquarters and Encore Asia Pacific has made significant contributions towards it’s formulation and direction in key areas such as goal setting, timelines and accountabilities.
Over the years, our organisation has informally engaged in several sustainability practices, including the collection of emissions data, measurement of electricity consumption, and monitoring of waste and recycling efforts. While these initiatives have reflected our genuine dedication to reducing our environmental footprint, we recognize the need to formalise our commitment to sustainability
through a comprehensive sustainability policy.
Encore is taking the necessary steps to develop and implement a formal sustainability policy that aligns with our core values and objectives. This policy will serve as a roadmap, outlining our sustainability goals, initiatives, and performance metrics. We are committed to ensure that this policy not only reflects our commitment but also sets measurable targets and standards to track our progress toward a more sustainable future.
Encore's environmental statement is based on the following principles
Compliance with Relevant Environmental Rules: We comply with relevant laws, and where practicable, we endeavour to exceed mandatory compliance thresholds.
Pollution Prevention: Throughout our activities, we will consistently look for ways to reduce waste generation and pollution.
Resource Conservation: We will conserve natural resources by minimising the use of energy, water, and other resources wherever possible.
Sustainable Practices: We will promote
sustainable practices and encourage our clients to adopt similar principles in their events.
Education and Training: We will provide education and training to our employees on environmental issues and our relevant policies, and practices..
Continuous Improvement: We’ll continuously work to improve while monitoring and reviewing our environmental performance on a regular basis.
Raising the bar in sustainable practice…
At Encore, we take ownership of our responsibility to the planet. By adhering to the principles outlined above and working collaboratively with our partners, staff, and suppliers, we’re committed to achieving our sustainability goals and protecting the planet for future generations.
Global Accreditation
We’re the proud holders of a bronze rating from EcoVadis (across the Encore Group world-wide) based on their in-depth analysis of our green credentials and efforts, scoring well above the industry average. We also follow all laws and regulations, and industry body recommendations.
Use the greenest tools for the job
Our purchasing policies for new equipment ensure we are looking for the most environmentally friendly option.
E.g.We now use Laser source projectors, which eliminate the need for multiple lamp changes for the life of the projector, not only reducing hazardous waste but increasing the usable life of the asset
Review, Review, Review
Whether it’s our regular asset and AV inventories or our short fleet contracts that allow us to upgrade to more efficient models sooner, we are constantly looking into how we can do more.
