Sustainably conscious fireworks

This client began with a goals-ideation workshop designed to broaden the team’s thinking about sustainability beyond carbon alone. Together, we explored the full range of sustainability drivers they should take into account, including regulatory developments, customer demand, and competitor behaviour.

From this, we set their sustainability goals—covering both net-zero ambitions and wider environmental priorities.

They have since begun work across their complex international supply chain, already reducing plastic use and starting their journey towards carbon savings.

We also undertook a comprehensive research project comparing the carbon footprint of fireworks with that of drones, to determine whether the claims made within the industry are evidence-based and to identify practical options for reducing emissions.

Our co-produced report found that the lifetime emissions of fireworks are broadly comparable to those of drones and was welcomed by their clients.
