Sustainability At Maximillion Events
March 26, 2024 : News
Sustainability has always been important to Maximillion and we are reviewing our existing policy and liaising closely with our clients and suppliers to play our part in sustainable events.
Running a green event for Maximillion requires collaboration between our clients and suppliers. Without strong commitment from all three parties, delivering a sustainable event will be challenging with any potential benefits compromised. We’re passionate about working together in raising awareness and achieving tangible outcomes of taking action towards preserving our natural environment; promoting a healthy, inclusive society; and supporting a thriving economy.
Maximillion Green Products
We want to help our clients inspire and educate their teams, in an engaging way, so we have further developed more environmentally-themed activities which are ideal to support your away day with strong sustainability awareness messages.
Eden
Unique to Maximillion, Eden tasks teams with building their own sustainable community where the choice to collaborate or compete will determine a successful outcome. As well as working in their individual teams to solve challenges, teams must also think consciously about how they travel and collaborate with different teams and countries and how this might affect the global environment. If their emissions get too high, there will be consequences for all teams and they must tackle these together. This dynamic, yet thought-provoking activity encourages effective teamwork, collaboration, communication and problem solving, whilst thinking and engaging with real-life social and environmental issues.
Environmental Countdown
The Environmental Countdown is a bespoke creation from Maximillion challenging teams to compete against each other in a series of fun gameshow-based rounds. These are a mixture of famous gameshow rounds that you may have seen on the small screen over the past 30 years mixed with rounds focusing on the importance of environmental awareness.
