A greener celebration:
The Vendies 2025 goes carbon neutral Once again, The Vendies has been certified as a Carbon Neutral Event—a milestone made possible with the support of our sustainability partner, Coffetek. For the first time, The Vendies took a small but important step to
reduce our environmental impact by introducing stylish new eco- friendly trophies. Made entirely from 100% recycled materials, they transformed yesterday’s waste into today’s symbols of success. Behind the scenes, we worked with carbon reduction engineers and the team at the Grand Connaught Rooms to measure the event’s carbon footprint. To offset the impact, we invested in carbon credits supporting the Water is Life project in Madagascar. This initiative not only prevented 10 tonnes of CO2
from entering the
atmosphere but also delivered vital benefits to local communities and ecosystems. The WATER IS LIFE project was launched in 2018 involving the construction of 10 manual pump wells and 19 solar energy- powered water systems which today guarantees free and unlimited access to drinking water to over 80,000 people living in isolated rural communities without access to other safe water sources. This has led to several benefits for communities: - greater availability of safe and unlimited drinking water; - fewer illnesses and deaths linked to the consumption of non- potable water;
- general improvement of health and living conditions; - less time spent on water supply; - more time to dedicate to income-generating activities and education; - job creation for the construction and maintenance of water systems. As well as restoring access to safe drinking water, the project
prevents CO2 from entering the atmosphere by reducing the need to boil water for purification, which in turn reduces deforestation and the associated carbon emissions from burning wood.
