WHY NIKE CHOSE OUR ETHICAL BAR HIRE

Nike needed a premium mobile bar for their local charity partner Outrunners Academy to host their graduation celebrations at the Nike head office in Kings Cross London and they chose our sustainable service. The Outrunners Academy is an inclusive and ethnically diverse women's running group that trains members to complete their first half or full marathon. For this inspiring graduation celebration we provided high volume hospitality as our expert team rapidly served 300 prepaid cocktails and mocktails keeping guests refreshed throughout the party. We also delivered premium brand integration by seamlessly displaying custom Outrunners and Nike branding across our immersive digital bar screens which elevated the entire event experience. Finally every drink served generated verifiable ESG impact creating measurable social and environmental benefits that align perfectly with corporate sustainability goals.

THIS EVENT HELPED EMPLOY 1 VULNERABLE STAF

CHANGING LIVES,
ONE SHIFT AT A TIME

By choosing us for this corporate celebration Nike helped us provide professional hospitality employment for a vulnerable staff member. Our team members often face significant barriers to employment but we believe talent is universal. That is why we actively employ individuals navigating homelessness, living with disabilities or rebuilding their lives after past convictions. For us a shift is not just about employment it is a stepping stone to stability and the support they need to build a new future.

HOW THIS EVENT PLANTED A FOREST

To ensure this corporate event was truly climate positive we planted a forest of 100 trees and protected 300 more from deforestation through our verified partnership with Ripple Africa. During the lifetime of these trees they will sequester 30 tonnes of carbon which is the equivalent of driving 73,000 miles in an average car. This forest includes fruit trees that provide sustainable food and income for the local farming community.
