AV1 has been a certified B Corporation since 2016

As a B Corp, we’re part of a global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact.

In October 2016, AV1 officially became a Certified B Corp - marking our commitment to people, profit and the planet equally known to the world.

The certification entails a comprehensive audit by the B Corp team, assessing a business's impact across five key pillars. These are 'environment', 'community', 'stakeholders', 'workers' and 'governance'.

Achieving certification requires meeting minimum scores across each pillar and improvement year-on-year , emphasising that B Corp certification is not a one-time endeavour.

We feel privileged to be part of the B Corp movement and are constantly making improvements to our business in order to have a positive impact on our wider community.

We hope that by leading the way, our peers in the events industry will follow suit and prioritise purpose-driven business values.

For our staff

The team at AV1 finds extra motivation in being part of a company that genuinely cares. Donning our AV1 shirts, sourced from from fellow B Corp, Ethical Tee’s, fills us with pride and represents our values.

In 2024, our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Action Plan will take effect, strengthening our commitment to fostering a diverse workforce. Through empowering policies, our team feels encouraged to be authentic in a supportive environment.

We’re dedicated to inspiring the next generation, spreading the word about the benefits of an empowering workplace through motivational talks at colleges and schools.
