Sustainable Events

Mosaic Events are working to make all our clients events more sustainable for 2011.

Sustainability is a key issue currently, individuals are making a more conscious effort at home and at work to ensure they limit their actions on the environment and society.

For example from recycling and car sharing with friends at home to car sharing to events, recycling bins and locally sourced organic food for events.

We work with numerous venues across the UK on a wide range of different event requirements for our clients and have come across a number of venues working to become more “green” and helping to create more sustainable events for clients holding events there.

In particular we have worked with the Window a modern not for profit venue which is London’s only exclusively vegetarian conference venue and offers small meeting rooms and a larger conference space upstairs for events.

The venue is focussed on ensuring client events are sustainable and provide high quality vegetarian food which where possible is locally sourced. 

They also stock belu water, the UK's first carbon neutral bottled water. (All their profits go to clean water projects in the UK and around the world.) and fair trade coffee and tea are also available and can even source organic wine with prior notice.

The Window have a number of sustainable practices in place including, low energy lighting throughout the building, heat condensing boiler for efficient use of gas, a green energy supplier, low flush toilets and urinals, off-site recycling: glass, paper, cans, plastic bottles, cardboard, wood, metal, printer/toner cartridges, IT equipment and furniture, carbon neutral taxi service, staff and volunteer education on sustainability issues and practices, recycled hand and toilet paper and ecological air sprays, hand soaps and cleaning products.

Working with venues who are also working to be more sustainable allows both Mosaic Events and the venue to learn from each other different initiatives and ways to improve the way we work and reduce the impact on the world as a result of the events we organise.

We are always learning and are keen to learn of any ways you or your company are trying to work more sustainably, please let us know by commenting on our blog below or via email to sarah@mosaicevents.co.uk
