Central London venue Somerset House is encouraging suppliers to become accredited.
Its accredited list is being reviewed for the first time in over three years.
Rebecca Moore, senior event manager, Somerset House, said: “We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive community reflecting the diversity of our society.
“Our newly accredited suppliers will reflect this and actively engage with it. There’s a lot of new, forward-thinking talent in our industry, and we welcome businesses both big and small that identify with our beliefs and working practices.”
Supplier list
Somerset House is searching for suppliers in the following categories: catering, event production (including AV), floristry, furniture, and exhibitions and walling.
As part of the tender process, supplier’s commitment to diversity, inclusion, anti-racism, and sustainability will also be a consideration.
Somerset House is looking for suppliers who demonstrate a genuine commitment to these areas, and who are actively learning and responding to create and champion best practice within the industry.
Moore continued: “Businesses that work with us have a positive input into the venue’s programme and in-house artists enabling the creation of events and initiatives that inspire people and business across the globe. With everything we do, we motivate and give back inclusively and ethically.”
