DRPG
Headquartered in the UK, with of昀椀ces in Germany and the
US, DRPG is a creative communications agency with a
strong focus on sustainability, delivering live events, 昀椀lm,
incentive travel, websites, and marketing campaigns.
An early adopter of sustainability and among our high
scorers in the Most Sustainable Agencies list, the agency
has an impressive list of awards and accreditations
including the Queen’s Award for Enterprise: Sustainable
Development in 2022, the only agency of its kind to
achieve this, and B Corp in 2023.
DRPG’s commitment has been driven by CEO and founder
Dale Parmenter. From the outset (45 years ago), he
believed that businesses should play a positive role in
the community, supporting local charities and creating
community-based awareness programmes.
The agency started its more formal sustainability journey
17 years ago. Dale recalls hearing Syntiro Associates MD
Sam Wilson speak on a ‘green panel’ at an event: “She
said that sustainability will become an important part
of every business in the future, particularly in the events
industry, and that those agencies that don’t embrace it
will not be on the roster, or just won’t be invited to tender.
That really stuck in my mind and spurred me to act.
“And that has come true. We had a call with the
procurement department of a major bank earlier this
year, and they said to their suppliers across multiple
industries, not just events, that if you do not reach this
minimum standard, you will be taken off the roster.
Because we have already got so many accreditations,
we are automatically on it, so all that hard work is
paying off.”
