Our impact
Our Mission
The events we work on inspire audiences, nurture talent, and provide the stage for celebration and connection. This drives us, as organisers, and our overall mission to empower the fundamental right to speak and be heard, to create a compelling experience that adds to our world.
Adding to our world is evident in the inspiring events we deliver, our carbon neutral status, as well as in our community impact and advocacy for the next generation.
Broadsword is proud to be a certified B Corp™
So, what does that mean?
The B Corp certification helps consumers identify companies using business as a force for good. The growing community of certified business share a mission to benefit people, communities, and the planet alongside profit.
From contributing to charities to managing supply chain, certified B Corporations (B Corps for short) consider their impact on their workers, communities, customers, and planet in every thing they do.
To certify as a B Corp, businesses are verified through the B Impact Assessment — a rigorous assessment where they must achieve a score of 80 or above on social and environmental performance. B Corps are required to re-certify every three years to encourage continuous improvement.
Sustainable Events
We can work with you to measure the impact of your event using our reporting tool. This includes pre-event guidance where we are able to predict your footprint using data-driven insights and provide creative solutions to reduce the carbon across key areas of the event. Post-event, detailed reports are available to measure the impact and offset the remaining footprint to create a carbon neutral event.
Inclusive Events
We can support in identifying areas to help incorporate diversity, equity and inclusion into the event planning process. For example, translation, accessible venue selection, journey planning, wellbeing spaces, and digital guidelines.
Social Responsibility
There are huge ROI and benefits for businesses and events that engage in good causes. We can offer a wide range of ideas from fundraising activities to community projects, as well as sourcing ethical, local items for merchandise and gifting.
