Sustainable events policy statement 2024
Ten Thousand Hours recognises that its event management activities, products, services and operations have the potential to have both a positive and negative environmental, social and economic impact.
We aim to minimise our significant negative impacts in all three of these areas and ensure commitment to satisfy applicable legal and other requirements. We will regularly audit our compliance with legislation and with this policy, measure our progress and continually improve wherever practicable.
Our purpose is to be a global leader in innovative events management and creative content production through a fusion of technology, sustainability and digital channels.
Our values are: leadership, creativity, curiosity, expertise, agility, collaboration, openness and trust.
We regularly review our principles to ensure that they meet with the Governing Principles of Sustainable Development: stewardship, integrity, transparency and inclusivity.
To ensure these principles are adhered to, we refer to operating guidelines as set out within
ISO 20121, the International Standard for Sustainable Events Management.
The scope for our own management system incorporates all production and running operations considering the event management cycle from conception to planning, through to implementation, review and post event activities.
We aim to achieve the objectives of our own management system by having clearly defined management responsibilities, actions and by promoting employee involvement.
For each of our identified objectives, detailed targets have been set with the aim of achieving continual improvement in our performance.
We are committed to demonstrate leadership and on-going consideration of our potential legacy with the implementation of event sustainability. Ten Thousand Hours will strive to leave a positive legacy.
This policy will continue to be reviewed at least annually and will be brought to the attention of all employees, contractors and made available to all stakeholders on request.
