Creative agency Chorus was recently awarded carbon neutral status for the second year running, following an independent appraisal by the Carbon Footprint Standard.
Chorus has also achieved carbon reduced status, having secured a drop in emissions since 2021. Recommendations from the appraisal have also led to a review of Chorus’ sustainability and travel policies.
Sustainability steps
In 2021 the team balanced 2.9 tonnes of CO2 – the equivalent of almost 11,000 car miles. The agency also partnered with event industry collective, Ecolibrium, which helped offset its emissions through tree planting, rainforest protection and ecosystem regeneration.
As members of Ecolibrium, Chorus proactively offers clients the option to balance emissions and implement carbon reduced or neutral targeted event delivery as standard.
Chorus are also members of sustainable body isla, and together, complete annual ‘Sustainability in Events’ training. Earlier in the year, isla released TRACE; a carbon tracking tool for events and Chorus were one of the first 100 agencies to adopt and implement this software. Currently, it has tracked 45 tonnes of CO2.

Andrew Perrott, managing director, Chorus, said: “We are extremely proud to be independently certified as a carbon neutral business and continue to be licensed by the Carbon Footprint Standard. But for us, it’s so much more than just a badge. Our sustainable commitment is embedded in our company values and we’re dedicated to demonstrating this in every project.”
