After careful consideration of various frameworks and strategies, we identified a Triple Bottom Line Strategy of People, Planet, Profit as the most suitable for us. We are striving to find a responsible balance between the social, ecological and financial aspects of the actions we undertake.
We have taken the classical 3P – People, Planet, Profit – approach
and tailored it to embed it as part of our Group DNA.
We recognise the part we play as a MICE business. Believing in the positive force and impact of a responsible business to our future motivates us! A future which is sustainable and where we contribute not only to ourselves and our customers but also to the planet and society as a whole.
We have been developing sustainable products and tours for each of our destinations and aim to work even closer with our suppliers to include the best authentic and sustainable products in our offering.
We aim to create an engaging place to work, which is underpinned by a comprehensive people strategy and engagement plan including training & development for all staff.
Our first step to Net Zero begins with fully offsetting our internal carbon footprint, for which we are directly responsible. We are now collaborating Groupwide with Ecologi to plant a further 12 trees per employee per month.
We strongly believe that it is possible to create an event that is kind to the planet. Here are our recommendations for how to accomplish this.
Choose to take your event outside when the weather allows it. Prioritize venues and meeting rooms with plenty of natural daylight so electric lights can be switched off.
Take full advantage of current technologies to avoid printing on paper. When printing on paper is unavoidable, use recycled paper and print double-sided!
Order food and drink quantities carefully to avoid leftovers. If there is leftover food at the end of the day, consider giving it to a food bank or soup kitchen.
Use filtered tap water instead of plastic bottles and work with brands that do not use single-use plastic i.e. straw. If you do use plastic, remember to recycle it.
When putting programmes together try to do so in a way that reduces the need for large scale transportation. This also saves you money.
If you would like to give your visitors a keepsake, choose something local and eco-friendly. This will also save on transport impact and cost.
Whether it’s through our online enquiry form, by email or over the phone – the Horizons team are here to help with all your MICE related needs. Once we hear from you will setup a meeting to give you the chance to meet your project / event manager.
