Faversham House has now taken up a leading role in addressing social and environmental challenges in the media industry.
By engaging both internal and external stakeholders, we raised the profile of sustainability within Faversham House. Reiterating the seriousness of its stance, the group has shifted sustainability from a secondary to a core strategic consideration.
Faversham House stayed ahead of the curve, with a number of banks increasing ESG-related disclosure requirements for companies they lend to, Faversham House has increased confidence and certainty in their access to finance. Leveraging the soul and passion of the Faversham House team to build longer term relationships with key suppliers, they have gained greater control over the environmental impact of their events and business as a whole.
Empowered people leading the shift
All new starters at the business now have a B-Corp related KPI in their job-description as well as remuneration packages. Plus, new policies are in place regarding employee volunteering, employee training and ethical marketing.
With business ethics and integrity so crucial to Faversham House’s success, sustainability is highly prioritised by stakeholders. Seismic has helped to remove any threat of ‘bottlenecks’ to progress, by ensuring that all employees have visibility of the board’s strategic intentions, positioning sustainability at the core of the group’s ’why’ and ‘so what’ of each employee, nurturing a sense of collaboration and mutual responsibility.
