“At Creative Hire, we believe that innovation, design, and responsibility go hand in hand. As we look to the future, sustainability is not just a choice, it’s a commitment to our people, our clients, and our planet. This paper shares the journey we’ve taken so far, the impact we’re making today, and the goals we’re setting for tomorrow.”

Our Sustainability Journey
At Creative Hire, we understand our role in creating memorable events comes with a duty to minimise environmental impact and support our communities. Sustainability is now at the heart of how we work.
The Journey
Our Focus Areas
Environment
At Creative Hire, sustainability is not a single initiative, it’s a mindset that guides how we work, design, and grow. We’ve identified three key areas where our actions can make the most positive impact. We are committed to minimising our environmental footprint and supporting our clients in delivering more sustainable events. Our initiatives focus on resource efficiency, waste reduction, and circular design. Over 32,000 furniture pieces are continually reused and refurbished, extending their lifespan and reducing the need for new production.
Key Initiatives and Achievements
Social
We believe in making a positive difference for our people, our partners, and the communities we serve. Our social responsibility initiatives focus on creating safe, inclusive, and rewarding workplaces while supporting causes that matter to our team and clients.
Responsible Business
For us, sustainability is about more than environmental performance, it’s about integrity, transparency, and strong governance. We are embedding responsibility into every level of our organisation to ensure long-term, ethical growth.
Our Alignment with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
At Creative Hire, our sustainability journey is guided by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). While our work connects with many of the 17 goals, we have identified four SDGs where we can make the greatest impact through our operations, partnerships, and values.
Our Impact & Metrics
We believe in transparency and accountability. Measuring our progress helps us understand where we are, where we’re heading, and how we can continue to improve. Here are some of the areas where we are already making an impact:
Carbon Footprint Reporting:
- We partner with Green Circle Solutions to measure and verify our carbon footprint, ensuring accurate data, transparent reporting, and continual improvement toward our net zero goals.
- Programme Start: March 2024, reviewing the 12 months prior
- - 2023/24 footprint: 59,865 kgCO₂e
- 2024/25 footprint: 53,470 kgCO₂e - A reduction of 6,395 kgCO₂e (~11%) - Beating our target of a 10% reduction.

Looking Ahead
Our sustainability journey is still evolving. We’re proud of the progress we’ve made so far, from achieving ESSA Level 3 accreditation and installing solar power, to introducing carbon footprint reporting and supporting our local communities. As we look to the next 5–10 years, our focus is on steady, meaningful progress. We’ll continue to reduce our environmental impact, invest in our people, and strengthen our responsible business practices to ensure sustainable growth for the long term.

Our Commitment
Sustainability is not a project, it’s a guiding principle. By embedding it into everything we do, from the design and reuse of our furniture to the way we power and manage our operations, we’re ensuring that responsible practices become part of our everyday decisions rather than one-off initiatives. As we move forward, Creative Hire will continue to develop innovative and practical solutions that reduce our environmental impact and support a more sustainable events industry. Through collaboration, transparency, and continuous improvement, we aim to create lasting value, for our clients, our people, and the planet.
