How the Centre is supporting you with environmental initiatives
The Centre is committed to the local community and we embrace our social responsibility in being part of the Sydney corporate community. The Centre will build on the significant achievements of the organisation by committing to work with staff, suppliers, organisers and exhibitors to continuously improve our performance. Read our Sustainability Policy for more information.
The Centre aims to use environmentally-friendly products and services wherever possible. This may be in the way a product is packaged, or the processes for delivery. You can help minimise the environmental impact of your event by choosing these products and services. To find out more, ask your Event Manager.
| The Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre works with local food rescue service OzHarvest to ensure that any excess pre-packaged food from the venue does not go to waste. OzHarvest is a not-for-profit organisation that collects food and delivers it free of charge to 118 charities that provide meals for men, women and children in need throughout Sydney. |

Food at the Centre never goes to waste. Instead, it is transported to a specialist recycling plant for conversion to green fuel, which the plant uses in its purpose-designed power stations.
The Centre is participating in the New South Wales Government's Sustainability Advantage Program in order to identify new measures that will help the venue and our clients contribute to a better environment.
The Centre held a seminar for event organisers to provide them with practical ways in which they can reduce their impact on the environment when holding events. To view the presentations and information that accompanied this seminar, please view our Life With a Smaller Footprint section.

It is encouraging to be recognised for our environmental initiatives. It shows that we are on the right track and our continued effort to bring about change within our working practices will help support our clients in conducting more environmentally-friendly events.

At the Centre we are constantly reviewing and evaluating our processes, with our environmental initiatives in mind. With the continued effort of our Ecowise committee, we will continue to add to the innovative ways in which we deliver environmentally-friendly events - centred on the environment.
Contact your Event Manager for more information about what the Centre is doing and how you can apply environmental initiatives to your event.
