Environmental

We operate according to strong principles that guide every decision:

Ethics & Governance – Environmental responsibility is embedded in our governance. All decisions and operations are guided by ethical policies, internal audits, and accountability standards.

Material Chains – We prioritise responsibly sourced materials. Steel, aluminium, cable, and fabrics come from suppliers committed to sustainability, ensuring minimal environmental impact throughout the supply chain.

Open Products & Services – Durable, long-lasting products reduce waste and resource consumption. Our equipment and stage solutions are designed for efficiency, longevity, and minimal environmental footprint.

Waste & Recycling - Nothing goes to waste. Fabric offcuts are donated to wildlife sanctuaries, metals are recycled, and office operations are moving towards paperless. Ink cartridges and batteries are responsibly recycled.

Over 95% of our metal and cable scrap is recycled annually.
