In the glitzy world of event planning, it’s easy to forget about the planet—after all, confetti cannons and 50-foot balloon arches seem more exciting than compostable plates, right? But at Foundry Events, we like to keep things fresh, fun, and sustainable. 🌍
You see, sustainability isn’t just a trendy accessory we pull out to impress the cool kids—it’s at the heart of everything we do. From reducing waste to making sure your event runs on green energy, we’re committed to keeping our events (and your brand) as eco-friendly as possible.
Let’s dive into what makes us the green machine behind Alberta’s most unforgettable events:
Not, Want Not – Say Goodbye to Single-Use Plastics
We love a good party, but you won’t find us tossing plastic cups into the trash at the end of the night. Nope, we’re all about reducing, reusing, and recycling. (No, really. We even say goodbye to single-use plastics like they’re last season’s fashion.) By working with suppliers who share our eco-conscious mindset, we make sure your event is as waste-free as possible. You’ll feel good about that, and so will the planet. 🌱
Power Up – But Make It Green
It’s not a party without the lights, right? But why stop at just looking good when you can feel good, too? Foundry opts for venues and suppliers that power the fun with renewable energy. So when you’re basking in the glow of your epic event, just remember: you’re also basking in the glow of clean energy.
Locally Sourced Everything – Because Alberta's Got the Goods
Forget about shipping products from halfway around the globe when Alberta’s got everything we need, right here. From locally sourced food (yum) to eco-friendly décor, we believe in supporting local communities while reducing our carbon footprint. Why not make your event a celebration of local flavor? Bonus: the food’s fresher, and your carbon footprint’s smaller. Win-win. 🍽️🌍
Diversity is Key – Celebrating Equity and Inclusion
Not only do we love the environment, but we love celebrating diversity too. We work hard to make sure our events are as inclusive as possible—whether that’s hiring local vendors who prioritize equity, diversity, and inclusion, or ensuring that all guests feel welcome and respected. Because what’s a celebration if everyone can’t join in? 🎉🌈
Truth and Reconciliation – Honoring Indigenous Communities
At Foundry, we don’t just plan events, we honor the communities in which we work. We actively collaborate with Indigenous-owned businesses and cultural programs, ensuring that our events respect and celebrate Alberta’s Indigenous communities. From art exhibits to cultural performances, we make sure your event reflects the rich heritage of this beautiful province. 🌾
Why Foundry?
Because sustainability isn’t just a checkbox for us—it’s our way of life. When you partner with Foundry, you’re not just getting an event—you’re getting an event that leaves a positive impact on the planet and the people around us.
