Spectra is an ethical business.
Spectra is a good, ethical company to do business with. Our staff carry out their duties in a workplace that is healthy, safe, inclusive and supportive, while bearing in mind their environmental and social responsibilities.
Giving back in action
Contributing positively to our world is important to Spectra and all staff are actively encouraged to support charitable projects.
We are proud to be associated with the Brain Tumour Research Campaign (BTRC). BTRC was founded by Spectra’s Chairman Wendy Moffatt, after her husband, and Spectra's Managing Director, John Fulcher died in 2001 from a brain tumour. Through events and donations, BTRC raises awareness and funds to support this historically underfunded and under-researched disease.
The entire Spectra team engages with this very personal campaign by providing administrative and logistical support, infrastructure and sponsorship of various events.
Our commitment to the environment
At Spectra, we believe great experiences shouldn’t come at the planet’s expense. Minimising the impact of our business activities upon the environment and the communities within which we work is an important part of our philosophy.
We work with suppliers who share our approach to sustainability – from eco-certified hotels to caterers and restaurants who champion locally sourced, seasonal produce.
Our staff regularly take part in community and conservation projects, like the Great British Beach Clean in Edinburgh, where we joined forces to protect marine life by clearing litter from coastlines.
We also design Corporate Social Responsibility activities for clients who want to give back. One of our favourites is Invisible Cities, a social enterprise training people affected by homelessness to become tour guides.

Silver Green Meetings Award
Spectra is proud to have achieved Silver Green Meetings certification from Green Tourism, recognising the practical steps we are taking to make sustainability a greater part of how we operate and deliver programmes across the UK.
This achievement reflects the work taking place across our London and Edinburgh offices, from reviewing our internal processes and reducing waste to working with responsible suppliers and considering the environmental and social impact of the experiences we create.
The Silver award is an important milestone in our sustainability journey, but it is not the end of it. We remain committed to building on this progress, continually reviewing how we work and identifying further ways to deliver memorable events more responsibly.
