OUR VALUES
DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION
Our goal is to produce impactful events that activate your audience. We can only do this if we understand a broad range of audiences, through personal experience. Our team needs to reflect society. This is why we are committed to working with people from a broad range of backgrounds and experiences.
Sometimes our diversity is obvious when it is shown in-front of the camera, while other times is it obvious in our office and behind the scenes.
To ensure that diversity and inclusion continues to be a focus in our workplace, we concentrate on 4 key areas:
Pride
Pride
Pride
Be the best version of yourself. Be proud. Keep an open mind and learn from others. We support the LGBTQI+ community. Join us at the Pride Parade, or sit down with your grandma and tell her why you are happy being you. Idéa Nordic is a safe space for all genders and sexual orientations.
Families

We are lucky to be based in Copenhagen Denmark, with progressive laws regarding family support. Families come in all shapes and sizes. We adapt our workplace to welcome families, whether they are traditional, hybrid, newly formed, or on the way!

Sustainability is important to us. We want to leave the planet in a better state, than how we found it.
We are a certified Green Tourism Organisation Agency
OUR FOCUS
1. We can assist you to run your first Net Zero Event: Our partners want to run sustainable events, so we challenge them to go Net Zero, with great success. We have developed a measurement tool, with industry experts to measure your emissions, and suggest solutions to reduce and offset them.
2. Green Solutions: We present both standard and sustainable options in our proposals to clients, so they can choose to run greener programs and events.
3. Green Standards: We adhere to the strong guidelines outlined in the green certification and work actively to improve event industry standards.
4: Working with Sustainable Suppliers: We implement a sustainable screening process with suppliers, and advise them on environmental challenges and solutions during onboarding. Start green and continue!
5. Upcycling: We are at the forefront of recycling. Idéa Nordic has more than 1000 specially designed costumes and props, with many that are recycled from previous event materials and decorations, as well as continually being up-cycled from previous entertainment programs.
6. Environmentally friendly transport. Like a real Copenhagener, we ride our bikes. We do not own a car. We transport our event materials using 'Cargo Bikes'. For larger events, and events outside of Copenhagen, we use a van-sharing service to transport larger items, equipment and our LED Light technology.
7. Rechargeable, low energy consuming LED Lights. We have integrated LED Light technology into many of our stages, props and costumes. Our digital dancing robots are rechargeable!
8. Repurposed materials. We create large bags in our workshop from old banners, to transport equipment between events. We are reducing our environmental impact with repurposed materials.
WHAT MOTIVATES US
Climate Summit
During the C40 Climate Summit in Copenhagen, we collaborated with Michael Bloomberg, the United Nations Special Envoy for Climate Action, and the creative team at Bloomberg Philanthropies, to produce the 2019 Climate Awards. The Ceremony recognises various climate initiatives, that are being introduced by global leaders in their cities, to prevent the increase in global temperatures of 1.5 °C.
Through our collaboration, we were able to learn more about sustainable practices, such as the use of alternative energy sources, reusable plastic, recycling, and tree-planting projects to reduce the amount of CO2.
The Green Mile
The Green Mile was brought to Copenhagen by the MICEBoard in May 2023. The objective was to gain practical experience from local Danish suppliers, venues, restaurants and activity companies, for running more sustainable events and incentive programs.
We partnered with the Copenhagen Convention Bureau to deliver the 4-day program to 100+ buyers and suppliers from the German speaking market, who are passionate about running sustainable events.
We were chosen as the local DMC partner to deliver the program due to our practical sustainability practices in our events and programs, and our Global Tourism Organisation certification 🌱.
Have you implemented sustainable practices in your work place, that you would like to share with us? We are always looking for new inspiration.
Our goal is to become a leader in Europe in producing sustainable events. Contact Us to share your ideas and join us on our journey.
Sustainability starts with a mindset change!
