Why Choose Us
Our main purpose is bringing people together and creates impactful experiences. We deliver impactful experiences that impress attendees and achieve your event goals and support a brighter, more sustainable future.
Together to Zero
Our Together to Zero 2030 vision outlines our aspirations and goals to firmly establish On Purpose Events, and our industry sector, as global environmental leaders. And we value partners who share our commitment to taking meaningful climate action for a sustainable future.
Leading the way in sustainable event planning and management for our industry, clients and community
Achieving carbon neutrality and Climate Active Certification by 2025.
Contributing 1% of annual revenue to environmental protection through 1% for the Planet.
Supporting our clients on their journey to achieve carbon neutral event programs
Love the positive power of events. Hate waste.
For over a decade, we’ve been producing events that help people connect, learn, celebrate, elevate their mission and create lasting memories together. But we can’t ignore the impact events have on our planet. We accept the science and our responsibility to take meaningful climate action.
So, when we saw two skip bins full of swag bags at the end of a conference and read that the average event attendee generates 170kg of CO² per day, we didn’t just raise an eyebrow. We raised the question, ‘What can we do to make planning low emissions and carbon neutral events easy, affordable and more accessible?’
Creating an event agency with purpose
Our whole purpose at On Purpose Events is to create meaningful events that have a lasting positive impact on attendees, on businesses, associations and governments, and on the planet. And we’ve made it our mission to remove every barrier to taking action by making environmentally and socially responsible events easy to host, cost-effective to produce and more accessible for everyone.
Making taking action easy as 1, 2, 3
We understand that challenging the traditional event delivery model can be overwhelming, but we’re here to change that.
Wherever your organisation is at on your climate journey, we can help you take the first steps to a more sustainable approach, or the next step to carbon neutral live, virtual and hybrid events.
Even the smallest steps can make a big impact. Like finding simple ways to reduce food waste, eliminating single-use plastics, or enabling online event participation to reduce your carbon footprint and achieve a wider reach. The most important thing is to make a start.
We’ll work collaboratively and completely flexibly with you, offering three levels that help you progress towards achieving sustainable and carbon neutral status.
Measure, reduce and offset emissions for one specific element of your event, such as travel or catering.
Reduce your event’s carbon footprint across lodging, travel, waste, energy, food, giveaways, and more
The ultimate green badge of honour. Sustainable events with verified offsets for unavoidable carbon emissions to get you to carbon neutral

The principles that underpin our sustainable events
As a sustainable events company, everything we do is guided by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and their definition of event sustainability.
Sustainability for events means taking action towards preserving our natural environment; promoting a healthy, inclusive society; and supporting a thriving economy.
Event organisers and suppliers share responsibility for:
- implementing sustainable practices, and;
- communicating sustainable practices to their stakeholders.
Basic environmental practices include:
- conservation of resources, including water, energy and natural resources;
- waste management;
- carbon emissions reduction and management;
- supply chain management and responsible purchasing;
- biodiversity preservation.
Basic social considerations include:
- universal human rights;
- community impacts;
- labour practices;
- respect for culture;
- safety and security;
- health and well-being.
Sustainable events support thriving economic practices through:
- Collaboration and partnerships
- Local support, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) Stakeholder participation
- Equitable economic impact
- Transparency
- Responsible governance

events powered by sustain.life
Through our partnership with Sustain.life we measure, manage and report on the carbon footprint of your events using internationally recognised carbon accounting tools.
Once we’ve calculated the carbon footprint of your sustainable event we can make all or part of your event carbon neutral by purchasing verified carbon offsets in projects that align with your corporate ESG strategy and company values.
You can highlight your event’s reduced carbon emissions in your corporate sustainability reporting and create a competitive advantage by marketing your carbon neutral event.
