Illustrated Live: Eco-Friendly Event Illustrations

Making a Change: Illustration for Eco-Friendliness 🌿

We believe in supporting events that benefit both people and planet
…and leaving the planet better than when we found it.

There’s no planet B!

Commitment to a Sustainable Creative Business

As a partnership working with a small team, we aim to do business while making a positive impact on the world and leaving as small a carbon footprint as possible. Some of the ways in which we do this are:

• Working with brands who are actively reducing their environmental impact. B corps! We love ya!

• Choosing to travel by train or other forms of public transport, and avoiding air travel wherever possible, especially when working in the UK.
  P.s. A remote, virtual live event illustrator is far better for you, your people and our planet. (And it saves you money.)

• Illustrating digitally to reduce waste materials.

• Using second-hand digital devices, and donating them once we need to have them replaced.

• Philanthropy. Giving back to local community and charities around the world. Balancing profit and purpose.

• Consistently monitoring social and environmental performance, and maintaining public transparency as well as legal accountability.

We’d love to be a B Corp one o’ these days. For now, we’ll keep putting our money where our mouth is and running a creative business that benefits people and planet.

Designed for sustainable and eco-friendly events

Most of our work is delivered remotely and digitally, which keeps things lighter on the planet and easier for event teams. No shipping artwork. No printing mountains of paper. No flying people around when it is not needed.

Remote illustration supports:

• Low-carbon events

• Sustainable conferences and workshops

• Green event communications

• Environmentally responsible engagement

This approach works especially well for global and hybrid events, where accessibility and sustainability go hand in hand. You still get engaging, high-quality visuals that your audience can watch take shape live, share afterwards, and reuse long after the event has finished.

Our approach to sustainable creative practice

We make conscious choices about how we work day to day. That includes:

• Fully digital illustration to reduce waste

• Minimal equipment and energy-efficient devices

• Remote collaboration as the default

• Careful planning to avoid unnecessary travel

When in-person illustration is required, we plan sensibly and responsibly, always aiming to reduce environmental impact where possible.

These decisions are part of our wider commitment to ethical creative work and sustainable business practices within the events industry.

Working with sustainability-led organisations

We regularly support eco-friendly companies, sustainability teams, academics, and research organisations who want their events to reflect their values as well as their ideas.

Our illustrations help:

• Communicate sustainability strategies clearly

• Capture research and discussion in an accessible way

• Support greener event marketing and reporting

• Create long-lasting digital assets instead of disposable materials

Visual storytelling can play a real role in helping people connect with sustainability, climate action, and social responsibility.

Why eco-friendly event illustration matters

Events leave an impression. Choosing environmentally conscious event illustration shows care for both your audience and the wider world.

Illustrated Live exists to support organisations running sustainable, thoughtful events with visuals that are engaging, useful, and responsible. If your event values clarity, creativity, and the planet, we are very much aligned.
