Exhibition stand and brand experience specialist Tecna has achieved the ESSA Tier 5 Sustainability Accreditation for the third consecutive year. Tier 5 is the highest level of sustainability recognition in the UK events and exhibitions industry, awarded by the Event Supplier and Services Association (ESSA).
The accreditation confirms Tecna is a leader in sustainable exhibition stands, recognised for using smarter materials, reducing waste and developing innovative processes that lower environmental impact while delivering bold brand experiences.
James Longley, Managing Director at Tecna, said:
“Achieving Tier 5 accreditation for the third consecutive year reinforces our commitment to sustainability and responsible innovation. At Tecna, we help brands create memorable world-class event experiences that are cost-efficient, high-impact and environmentally responsible. More impact. Less waste.”
Why it matters
The ESSA Sustainability Accreditation is an independently assessed standard, requiring measurable evidence of performance across environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors. Tier 5 status is reserved for companies that demonstrate exceptional achievement in event sustainability.
Tecna’s sustainability impact includes:
- Delivering carbon reporting and footprint reduction strategies for clients.
- Repurposing and donating exhibition stand components to reduce waste.
- Investing in sustainable materials and logistics solutions to cut emissions.
- Embedding sustainability into every stage of design, build and activation.
- Supporting local communities and charities through volunteering initiatives and donating goods.
This milestone strengthens Tecna’s position as a UK leader in sustainable exhibitions and events, and emphasizes its role in helping brands meet growing expectations around sustainability and ESG performance.
