OUR PEOPLE

At Clarion, we believe that meaningful connections start from within. That’s why we cultivate a culture that is inclusive, entrepreneurial, and open - where everyone is welcome, and ideas thrive.

Our people are the driving force behind our success, and we are committed to fostering an environment where growth and opportunity are accessible to all. Through comprehensive training, mentorship programs, and career development initiatives, we empower our employees to learn, evolve, and take on new challenges. From online courses to internal learning sessions, mentoring programs, and external coaching, we provide the tools needed to excel.

We also prioritise internal mobility, ensuring that talent is recognised and nurtured within our organisation. Our performance appraisal process supports career progression, helping employees achieve their professional goals while contributing to our collective success.

As we continue to grow, so do our people. Each year, we welcome new team members who bring fresh ideas and energy to our business. Our commitment to excellence has earned us recognition as ‘Most Respected Company’ and ‘Most Influential Company of the Last 25 Years’ by the Association of Event Organisers - testament to the incredible people who make Clarion what it is today.

We build realistic and strategic plans, anchored around our customers. Our plans support our goals of brand distinction, competitive advantage and continuous growth.

CURIOUS EXPERTS

We show a thirst for knowledge. We immerse ourselves in our industry and sectors seeking to understand current and emerging trends and data to anticipate and exceed customer expectations. Our senior leaders actively seek out opportunities to discover, network and participate.

INTEGRITY

Our actions are consistent with messages and initiatives that are communicated. We are transparent and honest, even in difficult situations. We always act with empathy and humility.

OUR DEIB APPROACH

Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategy is embedded across the organisation and informs how we engage and support our employees and customers. We strive for an environment where every individual is treated with fairness and respect, can bring their whole self to work and can maximise their full potential.

DEI education is important to us, all board members and management received in-person DEI training, and we have various trainings curated and ran by our DEI Specialist. Topics covered in the training include topics such as microaggressions, active by standing, how to resist gender norms, pronouns, biases, how to create inclusive spaces and how to proactively promote positive wellbeing.

Clarion constantly celebrates DEI throughout the year, with a series of events acting as core pillars to our DEI strategy. These include, Black History Month, Mental Health Awareness Week, Pride, International Women’s Day, and Disability Day. Our events focus on educating and celebrating our employees through challenging dominant narratives that harm marginalised communities, promoting progressive and empathetic understandings of our colleagues and providing the necessary skills for creating a welcoming culture.

OUR COMMUNITY AND ENVIRONMENT

Our aim is to incorporate social and environment considerations as part of our broader business objectives.  As a global events business, we recognise that our industry has environmental and social impacts, thus it is our ambition to connect people through events more sustainably. This means focusing on reducing adverse effects while striving to make positive contributions whenever possible. Achieving this ambition requires the active participation of all Clarion employees, partners, customers, and other stakeholders.

The Global ESG Committee are responsible for the application and management of our Group-wide Sustainability Policy. Employees are responsible for ensuring that they are familiar with the policy and communicating this with our stakeholders where possible and appropriate.

It covers our commitments to the environment, communities, customers and people, and links to other pre-existing related policies, such as Code of Conduct, Health and Safety, and Data Protection.

Clarion has committed to Net Zero target by 2045!

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.

WE ALSO LIKE TO HAVE FUN!
