Established in 1998, Sane will be celebrating our 12th Year Anniversary in 2010 and continue to grow from strength to strength with a core team of 13 staff underpinning our service capabilities.

Our re-branding in 2009 to the Sane Event Group marks the evolution of Sane from a logistics services organisation, into a streamlined provider of marketing, technology, creative and travel solutions offering a variety of event management services.

An organisation is nothing without its team however, and the Sane Team comes with a plethora of expertise right across the event management spectrum including multi language skills, IT Management, Incentive, Exhibition and Sponsorship specialists. Sane Event Group are also the proud owners of a ‘Family Friendly Award’, presented to Sane by the Minister of Industrial Affairs for our ‘Family Friendly Policies’.

If you would like to find out more about our policies and how we won the award, please contact us for more information.

Best Practices Policy

The Sane Event Group understands that organisations today have an obligation to their clients, shareholders, members, customers and suppliers alike to comply with regulatory requirements for sustainable business management practices.
At Sane, we work hand in hand with our clients requirements and have developed a sustainable and ethical policy platform allowing us to manage complete compliance across 6 main focal areas as follows:

• Labour Workplace Policy
Sane Event Group subscribes to the monthly 'Workplace Law' newsletter enabling us to remain up to date with any changes to Industrial Relations Policy. Our workplace policies strictly adhere to any Clerical Award requirements and Management regularly review these policies with staff.
All staff are provided with access to the current entitlements and are updated at weekly staff meetings on changes to any policies.

• OHS Policy
Sane Event Group manages a full OHS program and has appointed Ashley Partridge as our OHS officer. Our staff have access to a detailed handbook addressing all current OHS issues and procedures as adopted by Sane and our weekly meetings address any issues at hand with actionable tasks.

• Risk Management Policy
Sane event policies and procedures includes a full business continuity plan handbook detailing all facets of our business such as personnel, operational procedures and equipment in regards to disaster recovery and emergency response plans. Sane also documented a full emergency response plan for onsite and offsite incidents.

• Environment Policy
Maintaining an effective and measurable Environmental Policy is an important part of the Sane Group ethos. Careful consideration has been made to incorporate recommendations by the PCO Associations guidelines, allowing us to qualify for accreditation in this sector.
Many clients demand compliance in environmental policies with their suppliers these days, and the Sane Group are able to deliver on all fronts.

We endeavour to improve the world around us environmentally and socially by adhering to the following 4 rules:
1. We will comply with applicable legal and regulatory requirements as well as company standards plus conduct regular audits to verify compliance.
2. We will work with all 3rd party suppliers and customers to produce events that have a measurably reduced carbon footprint
3. Our internal policies and procedures will reflect the conservation of natural resources, recycling, source reduction and pollution control to ensure cleaner air and water and to reduce landfill wastes. We will share environmental best practices across the company.
4. We will apply sound environmental management practices over and above the recommendations, where, in our judgment, existing legal requirements are insufficient for our operations.

• Corporate Governance and Ethics Policy
Sane complies with all laws and regulations on bribery, corruption and prohibited business practices and all staff are issued with an ethical policy on employment. All staff have access to an escalation policy in the event of an unresolved issue, which is all documented for referral.
All staff are required to utilise the Policies and Procedures manual for all allocated tasks, and full job descriptions are issued on engagement and reviewed annually.

• Supplier Policy
Sane Event Group scrutinises suppliers to ensure that they are compliant in their practices as above where applicable.
Our suppliers are subject to a service level agreement to ensure that they adopt an ethical business practice, that they manage an OHS policy internally and onsite, that they adopt as strong an environmental policy to compliment Sane's policy, that they have appropriate measures in place for deliverability of services and have a risk management and disaster recovery policy in place.
