What Zentive Agency does

Zentive Agency Ltd. is a privately held, London-based sustainable events agency operating with a 1–10 person team from its headquarters at Eagle House, 163 City Rd, London EC1V 1NR. The firm designs and delivers end-to-end events — conferences, corporate events, incentive travel, hybrid and virtual events, and venue sourcing — for corporate enterprises, healthcare/life-sciences organizations, international bodies (e.g., WHO, IFRC), and NGOs, with sustainability and circular-economy principles embedded throughout the event lifecycle. Its service offering is organized around ten core products (Event Management, Global Health Events, Corporate Events, Incentive Travel, Carbon Measurement & Offset, Sustainable Event Consulting, Hybrid Events, Conferences, Venue Sourcing, and Virtual Events), supplemented by the 'Sustainability Unlocked' thought-leadership guide.

The technical foundation is a methodology stack rather than a software product: Scope 1–3 carbon measurement via the third-party isla TRACE platform, VCS- and Gold Standard-certified offsetting, circular-event protocols targeting 90% waste diversion from landfill/incineration, vetted eco-friendly venue sourcing (LEED/BREEAM criteria), and platform-agnostic hybrid/virtual delivery using tools such as Airmeet and Vimeo. The agency's go-to-market is consultative direct sales with no intermediary channels; pricing is bespoke and quote-based per engagement, with carbon offsetting included as standard in every event budget. Public commitments include the UNFCCC Race to Zero pledge, an operational Net Zero/Circular Events target by 2030 (with 2023 as the baseline year and 10% year-on-year emissions reduction), and entry into the sustainability-mandated procurement segment of the UK and European corporate-events market.

Revenue, funding history, and corporate ownership are not publicly disclosed; the company appears to be founder-/director-led (Director Dominic Richards, plus team member Lee Hird on the Environmental Sustainability Policy) and independently owned, with no parent company, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or institutional investment recorded in the available data. Operating geography is claimed as London/Europe/Global, served from the single London office.
