Driving sustainable change for a
brighter future
At Encore Event Technologies, we are committed to reducing our environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices in all aspects of our business operations. We recognise that our operations can significantly impact the environment, including energy consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water consumption, and waste generation.
An environmental strategy is under way at our Global Headquarters and Encore Asia Pacific has made significant contributions towards it’s formulation and direction in key areas such as goal setting, timelines and accountabilities.
Over the years, our organisation has informally engaged in several sustainability practices, including the collection of emissions data, measurement of electricity consumption, and monitoring of waste and recycling efforts. While these initiatives have reflected our genuine dedication to reducing our environmental footprint, we recognize the need to formalise our commitment to sustainability
through a comprehensive sustainability policy.
Encore is taking the necessary steps to develop and implement a formal sustainability policy that aligns with our core values and objectives. This policy will serve as a roadmap, outlining our sustainability goals, initiatives, and performance metrics. We are committed to ensure that this policy not only reflects our commitment but also sets measurable targets and standards to track our progress toward a more sustainable future.

Use the greenest tools for the job
Our purchasing policies for new equipment ensure we are looking for the most environmentally friendly option.
E.g.We now use Laser source projectors, which eliminate the need for multiple lamp changes for the life of the projector, not only reducing hazardous waste but increasing the usable life of the asset
Review, Review, Review
Whether it’s our regular asset and AV inventories or our short fleet contracts that allow us to upgrade to more efficient models sooner, we are constantly looking into how we can do more.
