Who Is ‘from now’?
‘from now’ is a sustainability consultancy that has quickly become a beacon for change in the event industry. Founded by visionaries from emc3’s core leadership team, ‘from now’ was born out of a passion for driving real, measurable change. The consultancy was established with a clear purpose: to help businesses and organisations transition towards more sustainable and inclusive practices, particularly in the context of events, which are often resource-intensive and have significant environmental footprints.
The consultancy offers bespoke services that include outlining sustainability and ESG goals, aiding in strategy creation and implementation, conducting in-depth impact reports, and providing targeted advice on reducing waste, managing energy consumption, minimising emissions, and implementing DEIA best practices. Focusing on these critical areas, ‘from now’ has enabled numerous clients to significantly reduce their environmental impact while delivering exceptional event experiences and making a difference to local communities.
A Shared Vision for the Future
The acquisition of ‘from now’ is not just a business transaction—it’s a merging of values and ambitions. The ethics and ethos of ‘from now’ align perfectly with our vision of creating a more sustainable future for the event industry. We believe that sustainability is not just a buzzword or tick-box exercise but a fundamental responsibility that requires thoughtful action and commitment.
At emc3, we have always been dedicated to delivering exceptional events that leave a lasting impact. With the integration of ‘from now’, we are now better equipped than ever before to help our clients achieve their sustainability goals. Whether it’s reducing carbon footprints, minimising waste, or promoting ethical practices, we are committed to leading the charge towards a greener, more sustainable events industry.
After all, it is an industry we are deeply passionate about and keen to give back to, shining a spotlight on how events can be used as a force for good. We intend to continue collaborating with suppliers and experts to educate on not only the importance of holistic sustainability but also how implementing sustainability strategies can benefit your business’s bottom line.
What This Means Going Forward
As we move forward, the combined expertise of emc3 and ‘from now’ will enable us to offer even more comprehensive sustainability services to our clients.

These reports will provide detailed ROI analysis, highlight improvement areas, and offer actionable strategies to mitigate environmental impact.
In essence, this acquisition means that emc3 is now uniquely positioned to lead the event industry towards a more sustainable future. We are committed to inciting change, not just within our own organisation, but across the entire industry. By working closely with our clients, partners, and stakeholders, we aim to create events that are not only memorable but also mindful of the planet!
