BeaconHouse Events earns Planet Mark certification

At BeaconHouse Events we are thrilled to announce we have been awarded the prestigious Planet Mark certification. In order to retain the Planet Mark, certification holders must reduce their carbon footprint year-on-year by a minimum of 2.5%, through savings in energy, waste, water, travel, and procurement. We've never met a target we didn't like to beat, so we're aiming for higher than the 2.5% reduction.

BeaconHouse Events has been taking positive action to reduce emissions since our inception in 2014, however working with The Planet Mark for their events we’ve been continuously improving across our portfolio of events with meaningful actions. Our increased focus on reducing our carbon footprint and adopting sustainable working practices has been hugely beneficial to our clients and delegates, and with the rise in virtual, online only events, we’re confident we’ll be reducing our emissions significantly this coming year.

The Planet Mark is also partnered with the Eden Project, the educational charity and award-winning international visitor destination, and centre for education in sustainability and innovation. Every business awarded the certification contributes 5 per cent of the fee to the Eden Project.

Last, but not least, with every new business certification, the Planet Mark protects an acre of rainforest through Cool Earth, the award-winning charity that works alongside indigenous villages to halt rainforest destruction.
