Thinking Green
Fabulous Events is always thinking green…
At Fabulous Events, we believe in the importance of protecting our natural environment and taking responsibility for our impact on the planet. As a responsible member of the business community, we prioritize sustainability in everything we do, from our daily operations to the products we offer.
Energy Efficiency Initiatives
Since 2010, Fabulous Events has made significant strides in reducing our energy consumption and carbon footprint. We’ve replaced 90% of our lighting with energy-efficient alternatives, resulting in a 68% decrease in energy usage in our warehouse alone. Our commitment to energy efficiency extends to our office equipment, HVAC systems, and daily practices, such as turning off heating/cooling units and activating sleep settings on electronics.
Recycling and Waste Reduction
We’re dedicated to reducing waste and promoting recycling throughout our operations. We reuse plastic garment bags as packing material for future shipments and utilize reusable nylon bags for return shipments to minimize cardboard waste. Additionally, our Eco-Friendly table linens and napkins are made from 100% recycled fibers and plastics, further reducing our environmental impact.
Digital Transformation
In 2012, Fabulous Events transitioned to digital signatures for all contracts through our partnership with IntelliSign. This initiative has streamlined our processes, reduced paper usage, and contributed to our commitment to sustainability.
LED Lighting and Ongoing Efforts
All of our warehouse and office locations utilize LED lighting. With this change, we’ve achieved a 92.5% reduction in power consumption compared to conventional lighting, resulting in significant cost savings and environmental benefits.
Continued Dedication
As of 2024, Fabulous Events remains steadfast in our commitment to sustainability and energy efficiency. We’re continuously exploring new opportunities to minimize our environmental impact and lead by example in the event rental industry. We hope that our efforts inspire others to join us in creating a more sustainable future for generations to come.
Our Sustainability Policy:
Vision – We strive to produce better events for a better planet.
Principles – Our approach to business is guided by commitments to the following core principles: Leadership, Inclusivity, Transparency, Integrity, Stewardship and Continuous Improvement.
Important Issues We Face – Our business faces many challenges and opportunities on a daily basis. Due to their direct impact on us and our team members, we have prioritized the following issues that need to be addressed: Climate change, water conservation, accessibility, health and safety and financial solvency.
Our Commitment and Scope – This policy will apply to all events placed in the hands of our organization. This is assumed to include events we host and pay for, including sponsorship’s. Staff and contractors are expected to uphold objectives under this policy to the fullest extent possible within prevailing budgets. And to inform management of financial and other barriers to achieving goals.
We acknowledge we have limited influence over third parties whose events we may attend but do not organize, such as trade shows where we exhibit. While we cannot control the decisions of these parties, we commit to educate them of our policy and encourage them to align operating practices with policy objectives.
Our attention to environmental, social and economic responsibility includes working within the law and voluntarily exceeding legal requirements in order to be innovative and demonstrate leadership on the issues that are import ant to us. We strive to use chemicals that are non-toxic and do not harm the environment or our staff. As we work with clients, execute events and evaluate our success we are able to choose every day in big and small ways how our actions and words build a better quality of life for our employees, clients, event participants and suppliers.
Objectives – We commit to minimize environmental impacts in the areas of waste, water, energy and air quality. This is achieved by continually reducing energy usage in our warehouses and offices. By using return bags in place of plastic bags and excess cardboard. By using non-toxic chemicals and limiting any carbon emissions.
We commit to give back to communities by volunteering and donating resources and linens for charities and non-profit events. Minimum value of Pro-Bono work on a yearly basis exceeds $25,000.
We commit to ensure our supply chain has responsible social and environmental practices as well.
