SUSTAINABILITY

What are some of the things the venue does?

  • Donate Not Waste is an initiative that takes things businesses throw away and gives them to charities, schools and play centres that need them. Any suitable waste items such as stationery, fabric and display materials will be donated where possible.
  • No waste to landfill – Waste that cannot be donated will be recycled or responsibly incinerated and turned into energy. Separate bins for different types of waste are provided throughout the venue.
  • Cycle storage & electric charging points are available at the venue.
  • Since 2019 100% renewable electricity has been used in the venue.
  • Introduced various energy efficiency measures across the venue over a number of years including, motion sensors, automatic taps and flushes as well as low energy lighting.
