State of the Industry Corporate Report: How brand events are putting DEI in the spotlight
Building an events industry that embraces DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) is a hot topic these days – so how is the sector actually performing? The majority of those surveyed were adopting measures to incorporate DEI into their events, although others were lagging behind. More than three-quarters (78%) of those surveyed were allowing attendees to share their accessibility needs upfront (although arguably this seems so basic, it’s a little surprising that nearly a quarter still aren’t). A similar number (76%) were ensuring a diverse range of speakers at their events, and 73% were accommodating special dietary requirements into their food and beverage offering. As one respondent stated, prioritising DEI means, “Ensuring it’s always a topic on the planning agenda and establishing requirements to ensure our events are inclusive – from venue to F&B to event structure, we need to consider the needs of our delegates.”

B Green
With so many event companies attaining B Corp status, we explore what the certification means and why your business should consider it. In recent years the event industry, like many other industries, has undergone a significant shift towards sustainability and corporate responsibility. With growing environmental concerns and increasing consumer demand for ethical business practices, event companies are seeking ways to align their operations with values that prioritise people and the planet. One powerful tool gaining traction in this movement is B Corp certification, which has gained enough traction that even big name brands such as Innocent drinks, The Body Shop, and Jamie Oliver are adopting it.
