Sustainability at the Drapers Footwear Awards 2024

Minimising the environmental impact of Drapers Footwear Awards is important to us.

As part of our commitment to a more sustainable future, we are taking practical steps to reduce and offset our carbon emissions, and we encourage our event partners to do the same.

Below are some of the measures we are implementing at the event to reduce waste and energy consumption, and to minimise the carbon footprint of the event:


OUR EVENT ATTENDEES


GETTING TO OUR EVENTS

Directions for public transport only are detailed on the event website.

OUR VENUE

The event will be held at Grosvenor House London. Click here to read its Sustainability Initiatives.

OUR SUPPLIERS

Drapers chooses its suppliers with a bias towards those partners who take sustainability seriously.

COLLATERAL, SIGNAGE AND EXHIBITION STANDS

Our event guide programmes and tickets are electronic instead of paper. The signage we use is from Insite Graphics, which holds ISO14001 certification. Event signage is all either recyclable, reusable or used to provide community power when disposed of – none will go to landfill. All the ink is water based and much of our signage is moving to cardboard-based alternatives, recyclable in generic paper waste collections. For more information click here.

AV SUPPLIER

We have chosen our AV supplier based on its positive sustainability policy, which you can read here.

COURIERS

We request electric vehicles for our preferred courier, Santis Global. For more information click here.

TRANSPORT

Employees are encouraged to take public transport to event or to travel using our “Uber Green” company account. For more information click here.

TROPHY SUPPLIER

Gaudio, our trophy supplier, plants a tree for every order made.

WE NEED TO WORK HARDER

This section of the website is not just dedicated to shouting about how great we are for doing what we should have been doing all along. We need to do better. We would love to hear from you on how you think we could improve. Please email any suggestions to drapersfootwear.awards@emap.com or you can take a few moments to complete the post-event survey that will be emailed to you after the awards.
