What edie does

edie is a UK-based sustainability media and events business serving sustainability professionals, energy managers, and supply chain leaders across UK and European businesses. It operates a content-led platform built on a daily sustainability news website (edie.net), supplemented by the Sustainability Uncovered podcast (46+ episodes), reports and guides, and webinars and masterclasses. The company runs a recurring events portfolio including the edie 27 flagship experience, the Sustainable Supply Chains Summit, the Energy & Tech Awards, and the newly launched COP31 UK Business Leaders Forum. It also offers premium membership that bundles exclusive editorial content, partner content from Springwise, and — launched in 2026 — access to the EU Climate Policy Tracker, a live interactive policy intelligence tool.

Revenue is generated through three streams: recurring membership subscriptions, event ticket sales and sponsorships, and advertising and partner content placements across its digital properties. The customer base is horizontally distributed across sustainability directors, supply chain managers, and energy managers seeking intelligence on net-zero planning, ESG reporting, climate policy compliance, and sustainable business practices. Marketing is executed via content, email newsletters, podcasts, webinars, in-person events, and active social media channels (LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram). edie holds Google Preferred Source status and B Corp Certification.

edie is operated by Faversham House and headquartered in London, with no publicly disclosed ownership structure, headcount, or financial figures. The underlying technology stack is standard web content management rather than proprietary software; pricing is not publicly disclosed.
