GREENER ACTIVATION

Greener Activation SPECIALISES In environmental sustainability for sponsorship and brand partnership activations.

A Greener Activation provides independent assessment of sponsorships and brand activations. We calculate carbon emissions and identify areas of environmental impact. We enable mitigation where possible and have preferential access to the worlds most robust carbon removals for residual emissions that can’t yet be avoided.

There are many wasteful practices in our industry that need to be tackled. We often see items sourced or manufactured then discarded after a few days, or even hours of use. Sustainable sponsorship activations reduce the use of travel, power, water and single-use plastics; and increase the use of recycled, non-toxic, cruelty free products. 

We advise brands, agencies and events how to deliver sustainable activations through responsible sourcing and collaboration with suppliers. We enable brands to reduce their carbon footprint and contribute to the circular economy by reusing, recycling and rehoming items. 

Greener Activation provides brands with the opportunity to receive certification that can be shared with customers, partners and media. We offer staff training, guidance, research and reports to help everyone make the right decisions for a sustainable future. 

Greener Activation: Reducing the environmental impact of sponsorship and brand activations through action, consultancy, training and certification.

WHY BRANDS, WHY NOW?

Today’s event audiences expect interactive and shareable experiences, as well as unforgettable memories. As consumers become increasingly aware of ethical issues, brands must respect this and continue to demonstrate their credentials when activating brand experiences.

Brands and their agencies have the opportunity to make a significant difference and deliver a powerful positive force through their activations.

Working in the events industry for 20 years we’ve witnessed sustainability being pushed up the agenda by Councils, consumers and communities. We have noticed a concerning disconnect between brands’ sustainable policies and the activations they produce at events.

Frustrated by the mistakes being made and the damage being done, we decided to look into the brand activation processes in order to develop services which the industry can utilise to reduce environmental damage. A Greener Activation is a collaboration between Alive Activation and A Greener Future.

INDUSTRY SURVEY

An invite to be part of an industry survey was sent out to over 7,000 sponsorship professionals, event rights owners, agencies and production companies. The link was distributed as part of the Think! Sponsorship newsletter in December 2019. It was also sent via A Greener Festivals database and social media channels and via personal invites. The survey was live for two months.
