Freeman, an events company with nearly a century of innovation under its belt, has mastered the art of adaptation and strategic foresight. Their secret to thriving through decades of industry shifts and global changes? A relentless commitment to improvement, encapsulated in their pivotal question: "How can we improve?"
Their 2023 Impact Report reveals just how seriously they take this inquiry. At Freeman, improvement isn't just a goal — it's a continual pursuit that benefits everyone they serve, from educators and tech innovators to small businesses and local communities.
This dedication is evident in the way Freeman puts people at the heart of everything they do, ensuring fair and sustainable event delivery. As a family-owned business, they hold themselves accountable not just to their clients but to the planet and the communities they are part of.
Join us in a Virtual Gathering with Elizabeth Fretheim, Vice President of Sustainability at Freeman, to dive deep into their 2023 Impact Report. We'll explore the strategies behind their significant, measurable impact in three key areas — people, principles, and planet — and learn how Freeman is setting the standard for future generations with a goal of achieving net zero carbon.
