Impulse Events CSR Policy

Filed under: Uncategorised — jamie @ 12:27 pm

We believe that we should have a positive impact on our environment and aim to enforce this throughout every aspect of our operations, whether in our own office, at our events, or when selecting third party suppliers

We seek to minimise the effect our office based operations have on the environment and produce live events with the minimum of impact.

We strive to create a positive working environment for our team members and encourage learning, and well being within out team.

We work with like minded suppliers and encourage them to follow our lead whether it be recycling event components, sourcing local produce, or hiring local crew.
How do we do it?

Environment

We actively seek to reduce our impact on the environment both within our office, and at events.

Within the office we recycle and reuse all waste paper products, recycle all used ink cartridges, have switched to energy efficient light bulbs.

We also seek to create a positive working environment for our staff and have recently introduced several oxygen producing plants to the office.

At events we actively seek to minimise our impact on the environment, using recycled carpets and low energy LED lighting. We attempt to re-use stage sets and props, as well and consolidating transport to and from the venue.

We work with our catering partners to recycle all bottles, minimise waste and source sensitively farmed, local produce.

During our 2007 Christmas party season we recycled over 25,000 beer and wine bottles.

Where possible we also encourage our clients to be sensitive to the environment when holding live events,

We encourage our client to reduce the amount of paper they waste through print, and encourage e-invites instead of a printed version
Community

We are active in the community and regularly support charity initiatives as well as offering discounts to health and other key workers.

We also offer event products which have a positive impact on the environment such as out responsible team building events at which you can renovate a local park or decorate a local hospital.

We use ‘local’ crew companies to ensure we are hiring staff from the immediate locality of the event, these crew are encouraged to travel to the event by public transport or by walking/bicycle.

Oi!!! BRAZIL

Filed under: Article, Corporate events, Summer — jamie @ 4:40 pm

talkback THAMES make some of the best TV going so when it came to their annual summer party Impulse were given the task of showing that we are not an Apprentice but can deliver Grand Designs!!!!

Their award winning architect designed building in the west-end provides an incredible setting in which to host the companies 100’s of employees, freelancers and talent!

The building and desired atmosphere screamed Brazil, so thats what we did! Transforming the space from this…

To a full blown Rio street carnival complete with authentic Brazilian cuisine courtesy of Roastmaster who BBQ’d literally thousands of chicken, lamb, beef, fish and veggies skewers!

Yellow, Blue & Green draping covered the building along with Palm trees and the effect was finished with festoon lighting for that auhetic street look! The atmosphere was kept alive with LED lighting to the outside areas and a specially designed sound system to keep the tunes pumping…

 

  

 

Caipirinha’s were mixed long into the night, whilst service bars were spread throughout the building to make sure everyone could pick up a Brahma!

 

Caipirinha Station     Bamboo Bar Hut

 

The buildings studio space was transformed into a real rave space complete with lasers!!

We think it was one of the best parties that we have ever produced and re-wrote the rule book on office parties!
