CLARION SUSTAINABILITY

What We Believe

At the heart of our business are four core values: Passion, Care, Imagination, and Trust. These aren’t just words - they drive everything we do. We are committed to integrating these values into our operations, ensuring we meet the expectations of our employees, customers, suppliers, communities, and the environment.

We create world-class exhibitions and conferences - but we also recognise the environmental impact of our industry. That’s why we actively work with our peers, venues, contractors, and exhibitors to minimise our footprint wherever possible.

Sustainability Policy

Sustainability isn’t just a goal - it’s built into our business. As a global events company, we acknowledge our industry’s impact on the planet. Our mission is clear: connect people through events more sustainably. That means reducing harm while striving to create a positive impact.

Achieving this requires a collective effort. Our Global ESG Committee leads the charge, ensuring all employees understand and uphold our sustainability commitments. Our policy spans four key areas: the environment, communities, customers, and people, linking to our Code of Conduct, Health & Safety, and Data Protection policies.

Net Zero Carbon Events

We’re not just talking about change - we’re making it happen. Clarion Events is committed to reducing our emissions by 50% by 2030 and reaching Net Zero by 2045 - five years ahead of the industry-wide pledge. To get there, we’ve published our Net Zero Pathway, focusing on five key pillars:

Cut energy consumption at our offices and warehouses
Embed sustainability into our supply chain
Design greener events with lower environmental impact
Optimise business travel and invest in carbon offsets
Collaborate across the industry to drive meaningful change

We know we can’t do it alone. That’s why we’re proud members of the Net Zero Carbon Events initiative, working alongside industry peers to accelerate progress.

Partnering with our Supply Chain

We value the expertise of our suppliers and recognise their role in delivering outstanding results. We seek partners who share our commitment to ethical, fair, and sustainable business practices.

Clarion Cares: Making A Difference

At Clarion, we believe business should be a force for good. That’s why we actively encourage our employees to give back through volunteering and community support. Our Clarion Helping Our World Scheme (HOW Days) allows team members to dedicate time each quarter to causes close to their hearts.

From local initiatives to global efforts, we’re committed to creating a brighter future for our people, partners, and planet. To further this mission, we established Clarion Cares™, a charitable group dedicated to supporting organisations that align with our core values. By working alongside the industries we serve, we strive to give back to the communities that host our live events.

Some of our initiatives include:

One Day at Christmas: Sponsoring a heartwarming event where the UK events industry creates a special Christmas experience for those facing loneliness.
Supporting Charities at our events: Offering complimentary booths or special rates for charitable organisations exhibiting at shows worldwide.
Fundraising and donations: Contributing to animal welfare, children’s support groups, PRIDE initiatives, and more.
PPE distribution for First Responders: Providing essential protective equipment for firefighters and emergency responders in countries experiencing war.
Red Cross support: Donating and partnering with the Red Cross to combat the effects of climate change.
Food and clothing drives: Organising initiatives to collect and distribute essential supplies to those in need.
Educational and cultural charity partnerships: Supporting education, cultural exchange, and artists through meaningful collaborations.

Through Clarion Cares™, we’re not just hosting events - we’re building stronger communities.
