Sustainability
We are committed to sustainability across all our activities, fostering a culture of care and responsibility that influences both our internal operations and external collaborations with clients and communities.
Our aim is to build a resilient and sustainable business that makes a positive impact beyond our operations.
Why sustainability matters to us
Committed to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we strive to be more than just a company; we aim to be a vector of change. Sustainability is at the heart of our mission to bring people together and create meaningful, lasting impact.
We’re committed to operating responsibly, leading the shift to a sustainable economy by improving resource efficiency, strengthening supply chains, and enhancing social value. In today’s digital age, building trust requires transparency. We go beyond compliance to support our clients in meeting—and exceeding—their sustainability goals.
Sustainability isn’t just a responsibility; it’s a growth driver. It fuels innovation, builds brand trust, and provides a clear competitive edge. By embedding sustainable principles into every strategy, we help future-proof businesses, foster resilience, and unlock opportunity in emerging low-carbon markets—ensuring both impact and long-term success.
Our choices must have the potential to transform our world. Our commitment is simple: to walk the talk. And fast. Placing sustainability at the heart of what we do. For real. With our clients. With our partners. For our industry. For positive change. For our communities. For our planet.
Creating responsible experiences
We champion sustainability by embedding environmentally and ethically responsible solutions into every event and experience we create. Through a sustainable-by-design approach, we integrate strategic planning, innovative design thinking, and resource efficiency to minimise waste and reduce environmental impact – without compromising engagement or effectiveness.
Our commitment goes beyond just meeting standards; we proactively help clients navigate sustainability challenges, ensuring that their events and campaigns drive positive change, measurable impact, and long-term value. By making responsible choices effortless and impactful, we transform sustainability from an obligation into an opportunity for innovation, brand positioning and meaningful engagement
Environmental impact
Our customers, our talents, governments, and society at large are increasingly concerned about carbon impacts. We recognise that our industry – and we as an organisation – must address this global issue and be part of the solution.
Since 2009, we have been tracking and transparently reporting our environmental impact annually, continually improving how and what we measure. We remain committed to achieving specific, quantifiable objectives that align with climate science.
Protecting our people and assets
We are committed to implementing systems that adhere to core principles in the responsible development and use of AI. All tools and platforms are assessed from an ethical, privacy and security perspective.
Protecting personal information is crucial to ensuring sustainable operations. We are committed to adhering to strict data protection regulations and have implemented robust policies and technical measures to secure all the information we collect.
Business ethics
We recognise that our culture can have a significant impact beyond our agencies and ventures. That knowledge drives us to do better and grow further every day.
This is why we are committed to building an ethical business culture, ensuring we conduct ourselves with honesty and integrity, driving positive change throughout our supply chain.
As a signatory of the United Nations Global Compact, mci group does not tolerate bribery or corruption. We are committed to acting ethically in all aspects of our business, maintaining and improving the highest standards of honesty and integrity. It is part of our core values, and we firmly support international and local efforts to eliminate corruption and financial crime
Supply chain management
Our progress towards being a more sustainable organisation depends on collaborating with our partners and suppliers to drive change across the whole value chain.
Our Code of Business Conduct helps to keep our operations as sustainable as possible at the supply level. Our supplier code of conduct outlines our minimum expectations for labour practices (such as discrimination, decent work and health and safety), human rights (including child or forced labour), ethical matters (anti-bribery and corruption) and environmental commitments.
We give preference to suppliers with the best sustainability practices. We expect all our partners, suppliers and subcontractors to adhere to and support this code.
Partnering with our industry
With a 35+ year proven track record and an agency network that spans the globe, we strive to extend our influence beyond the field of sustainable events and serve as both a vocal advocate and a foundational pillar for the sustainability sector at large.
In line with SDG #17 “Partnership for the Goals”, we have taken an active role in encouraging clients, partners, suppliers, competitors and governments to adopt a higher standard of sustainable business practices within the industry.
