AOK Events has become a certified B Corporation, joining the growing number of event agencies committing to higher standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency.
The employee-owned agency said the certification recognises its ongoing focus on delivering more responsible events while investing in its people, communities and environmental impact.
The milestone follows the company’s transition to employee ownership in 2024, which the agency said reinforced its long-term commitment to building a purpose-led business.
Alex Hewitt, CEO of AOK Events, said: “Becoming a Certified B Corporation is an important milestone for AOK Events and something the whole team is incredibly proud of.
“As an employee-owned business, we’ve always believed that long-term success should be built around responsibility, accountability and creating positive impact for our people and the wider industry.”
AOK said it plans to continue developing its sustainability strategy through improved emissions measurement, closer collaboration with suppliers and ongoing work with clients and partners to reduce the environmental impact of events.
Hewitt added: “The events industry has a real opportunity to drive positive change, and collaboration will be key. We want to play our part in helping move the industry forward in a practical and measurable way.”
