Sustainability Policy

Learn about how we contribute to creating a better environment

Last updated 25 June 2025


At Event TM, we recognise the role every individual and organisation must play in tackling climate change and reducing environmental harm. This Sustainability Policy outlines our current practices, measurable data, and forward-looking objectives to reduce our environmental impact.


1. Current Practices


a) Vehicle Use

  • Emissions Compliance: All vehicles meet annual MOT emissions standards.

  • Carbon Offset Scheme: We are members of the Shell UK Carbon Offset Programme. We opt to pay an additional 1p per litre of fuel to offset both tailpipe and upstream emissions.

    • Total Offset (as of last update): 3,931.5 kg of CO₂ via 1,330.1 litres of fuel.

  • Fuel Efficiency: We use Shell V-Power fuel to improve MPG and reduce fuel consumption.


b) Efficient Load Planning

  • Equipment weight is carefully calculated and grouped to minimise journeys.

  • Signage is delivered zone-by-zone to avoid multiple trips.


c) Auxiliary Power Systems

  • Our vehicles are fitted with auxiliary 110Ah batteries to power all lighting and safety features.

  • Solar panels charge these systems throughout the day; mains hook-up is used only when needed.


d) Sign Reuse & Manufacturing

  • Custom laminated plastic sign faces are reused where possible. Vinyl layers are removed or replaced to extend usage.

    • Example: 9 sign boards reused for a third event, avoiding 21 new single-use signs.

  • Clients may retain, repurpose, or rehire custom signs within a 4-month window.


e) Modular Directional Signage

  • Diversion symbols are applied using Correx and cone-mounted formats where legal — saving on heavy metal sign frames.

    • Example weight savings (low wind conditions):

      • Standard: 31 kg vs Cone-based: 9.5 kg

      • High wind: 51 kg vs Cone-based: 29.5 kg


f) TM Trailer Power

  • Our trailer includes white work lights and amber strobes powered by:

    • Vehicle when towed

    • 65Ah auxiliary battery (solar/mains charged)

    • 25W solar panel (daytime operation)


g) Diversion Route Design

  • We select the shortest safe, legal routes under diversion regulations.

  • Early advance signage minimises unnecessary traffic turnaround and emissions.

  • Signage includes contact details for more information, reducing driver frustration.



2. Goals & Future Objectives


a) Remote Welfare Unit Design

We are developing a solar-powered, single-person welfare unit for use by lone TM operatives in remote locations. This unit will include:

  • Charging points for radios and phones

  • Basic welfare (toilet, water, seat, lighting, storage)

  • Emergency supplies (first aid, fire extinguisher)


b) Continued Carbon Offset Commitment

  • Despite Shell's opt-out default on 7 November 2021, we re-enrolled in the scheme the next day (8 November 2021) and remain committed to offsetting all emissions from fuel use.


c) Sustainable Sign Practices

  • Continue developing reusable sign formats with removable strips for dates/locations.

  • Offer client education and incentives to participate in our reuse or long-term hire schemes.


d) Equipment Efficiency

  • Evaluate fleet fuel consumption and idle times annually.

  • Explore transition to hybrid or EV vehicles as suitable commercial options become available.



3. Reporting & Review


  • Data on offset fuel usage, sign reuse, and transport efficiency will be reviewed annually.

  • This policy is updated each calendar year, with performance data added to support transparency.
