Sterling Achieves Phase 3 in PLASA Carbon Reduction Commitment

At Sterling Event Group, we are proud to announce that we have achieved Phase 3 in the PLASA Carbon Reduction Commitment Survey, earning the prestigious Phase 3 Badge. This recognition highlights our continued dedication to sustainability in the event industry and our commitment to reducing our carbon footprint across all areas of event production.

Sustainability is at the core of how we operate. By taking part in the PLASA Carbon Reduction Commitment, we are aligning our efforts with industry-wide standards and taking meaningful, measurable steps towards a more sustainable future for live events, conferences and exhibitions.

Phase 3 recognises that we’re not just planning for change – we’re actively innovating, measuring and achieving progress against our carbon reduction targets.

Over the past year, we’ve continued to build momentum across our sustainability programme, taking tangible steps to understand and reduce our environmental impact. Our ongoing commitments include:

ISO 14001 certification – ensuring we meet international standards for effective environmental management.
Internal sustainability steering group – driving continuous improvement and embedding sustainability across the business.
Carbon literacy training – empowering our teams with the knowledge to make environmentally responsible decisions.
Carbon Reduction Plan towards Net Zero – providing a clear framework for reducing our carbon emissions and supporting our long-term sustainability goals.
Carbon footprint measurement – helping us understand our impact and identify opportunities for meaningful reduction.

These actions form part of our long-term commitment to carbon reduction in event management and to supporting clients who prioritise environmentally conscious events.

The Professional Lighting and Sound Association (PLASA) Carbon Reduction Commitment provides a framework for companies in the event and entertainment technology sector to measure, manage and reduce carbon emissions. Achieving Phase 3 demonstrates that Sterling Event Group is taking tangible action and making measurable progress on its carbon reduction journey.

As one of the UK’s leading technical event production companies, we are committed to helping clients deliver unforgettable experiences while continuing to reduce the environmental impact of live events. Our Phase 3 status is a brilliant recognition of the progress we’ve made, but more importantly, it’s a reminder that sustainability is about action, continuous improvement and keeping things moving forward.

A huge thank you to PLASA for recognising our progress and for continuing to drive positive change across our industry.
