Sustainability

Quite simply, our aim is to make sustainability an identifiable feature and characteristic of our business and to provide a range of positive benefits to our business, our customers and all those of us working at UMi.

Ambition

Our approach to sustainability will be comprehensive, sustained but at the same time practical. Focusing on those areas where it can make a real difference to the impact that we have, and the way that we do business. 

Underscoring the practical and measurable impact that this approach has will be an ethical tone that makes working with us that little bit ‘special’. Emphasising a very conscious attempt on our behalf to do business responsibly as well as competitively.

We have set ourselves an initial four key areas to focus on:

  • Reducing our impact on the environment

  • Growing and nurturing our people

  • Caring about and supporting local communities

  • Sourcing with integrity

Carbon Management & Reduction Plan

UMi is committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2045 by eliminating, substituting and reducing our carbon emissions in advance of any offsetting commitments.

Following a number of changes during the 2023/24 financial year, including a relocation from leased offices to our own office premises where significant investment has been made in sustainable features such as the installation of solar photovoltaic panels, the decision has been taken to review our approach to achieving net zero by 2045 to ensure it truly reflects our commitment as a Certified B Corporation and our accreditation to ISO 14001 to managing and measuring our social and environmental impact.

To support this activity, we have retained the baseline Carbon Reduction Plan with revised narrative and will work with an external specialist to help guide us to measure our full operational carbon footprint across all three scopes of carbon to an international standard methodology. We will then be working to ensure our carbon reduction plan is full aligned to our targets via a science-based carbon reduction plan.

Reduction Plan (2022-23 baseline with revised narrative for 2023-24) 

We aim to deliver all events in accordance with our Guiding Principles for the Management of Sustainable Events.
