PrimeGlobal launches new sustainability badge scheme for member firms
PrimeGlobal News
April 9, 2026PrimeGlobal is pleased to introduce a new sustainability initiative designed to help member firms highlight their commitment to environmental responsibility. Developed in partnership with Alliance Partner Boxfish, this program provides firms with a series of co-branded badges that can be used externally to demonstrate your firm’s sustainability achievements to clients, talent, and stakeholders.
As sustainability expectations continue to rise among clients, regulators, and the broader profession, firms are increasingly looking for credible ways to communicate their progress. This new scheme gives PrimeGlobal members a practical, trusted, and recognizable way to showcase the steps they are taking, supported by expert guidance and verified external assessment.
A clear and credible sustainability journey
After working with Boxfish to calculate an emissions baseline and set agreed reduction targets, eligible firms are awarded the emissions assessed badge, signaling that they have made a measurable start on their net-zero journey.
Depending on the quality and level of data provided, the assessment can be made in a matter of weeks.
In subsequent years, firms can progress to the emissions reduced badge, with a ranking system that recognizes year-over-year improvement across four levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. These tiers reflect how much progress has been made toward agreed carbon-reduction and sustainability goals. The badges can then be used externally across marketing materials, proposals, reports, websites, and email signatures.
Why this matters for member firms
This program enables firms to:
- Demonstrate credible, externally validated sustainability progress
- Strengthen tender responses and client communications
- Enhance employer brand positioning
- Align with growing ESG expectations
- Be part of an association-wide movement toward measurable environmental responsibility

New PrimeGlobal event emissions calculator
In addition to the badge scheme, PrimeGlobal and Boxfish have jointly developed a bespoke emissions calculator to track carbon emissions associated with PrimeGlobal’s global event series. This tool will measure both staff and member travel emissions, strengthening the accuracy of our sustainability reporting.
The calculator marks an important step in our broader strategy to better understand and ultimately reduce the environmental footprint of our events.
Member firms interested in joining the sustainability badge program or learning more about the event emissions calculator can contact Boxfish through their partner page.
