Environment

Peppermint Events is committed to helping the environment and continuously strives to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.

We recognise that the events industry (in particular the outdoor events industry)  has a large impact on the environment and it's critical that we play our part. Our aim is to raise awareness and continually develop our environmental policies and systems in order to reduce the impact of our operation on the environment. We aim to be one of the most environmentally event bar companies in the UK.

Our Commitment at Events

• Continuously researching to seek to improve environmental performance:
• We are Involved with the Drop 4 Drop Charity which means that every amount of water we sell, an equal amount will go to a water deprived third world country.
• Through this relationship we have donated over 2 million litres of water so far to third world countries.
• To find our more about Peppermint's partnership with Life water click here.
  
• We work with our clients to use products in an environmentally-sensitive way by choosing the least harmful and most environmentally-efficient materials and products, for example:
• Fully recyclable plastic cups (with environmental messages to encourage users to recycle the cup using designated points on event and festival sites)
• Recycling "Cans 4 Cups" scheme
• 10p cup deposit scheme - encouraging recycling
• Bio degradable & recyclable packaging
• Bio degradable & recyclable paper cups
• Re-useable/washable plastic pint cups
• Recycling of glass bottles
  
• We use local suppliers to eliminate unnecessary transport
• We favour suppliers who have a positive, pro-active environmental policy
• We reduce pollution and emissions by encouraging (with financial incentives) and enforcing (in some cases) car sharing policies with our staff travelling to and from events
• Pre-event, we always assess the overall environmental impact of the operation
• We raise awareness, encourage and train employees in the importance of our environmental impact at all events.

Our Commitment in the Office

• Our entire office is powered by 100% Green energy
• We are undertaking a scheme to make Peppermint Events Carbon Neutral
• We rigorously recycle all of our office waste
• We encourage and provide paper-free financial transactions for example, invoicing
• Most of our publicity and marketing material is in digital form.
• We are working towards the goal of a paper-free office and only use recycled paper when printing is necessary
• We use electronic methods over paper wherever possible
• Our policy is constantly developing and this is by no means an exhaustive list.

If you wish to make suggestions on how we can further improve our environmental policy, please contact us we are constantly looking for new suggestions.
