Sustainability

As a venue, the management team are committed to making constant improvements to our environmental performance.

We have already put together several measures and are continuously looking for new ways to improve. When purchasing new equipment, we’re mindful to ensure energy saving and re-usable elements within all associated products. Congress Centre currently carries out the following initiatives:
Recycling
This is extremely important, and we recognise the need to recycle materials wherever possible. We are now using 100% recycled paper throughout all offices within our building.

The venue and internal offices have reduced their waste from 5 bins to 3 bins each day, and we’re looking to reduce this even further. Congress Centre use recycled note pads, pencils, coasters, flipchart paper and pens for all meetings.

Energy Use
We recognise the simple but powerful impact of using energy saving bulbs and have introduced this to all appropriate areas in the building.

Suppliers
We work with our suppliers to ensure that they’re always working to recognise and reduce the environmental impact of their products, packaging and transportation.

Catering
Congress Centre promotes the use of locally sourced products for our events through our suppliers. We are working towards removing all single-use plastics from our catering and conference spaces.
