Green Impact Certificate awarded to Nottingham Conference Centre

Nottingham Conference Centre, situated in a beautifully unique and recently transformed Grade II* listed building at Nottingham Trent University, is delighted to have received a Bronze Award Green Impact certificate.

Green Impact is an environmental accreditation scheme run by the Environmental Association for Universities and Colleges. It is designed to encourage individuals and departments to reduce their environmental impact by rewarding and celebrating practical environmental improvements. Those partaking in the Green Impact scheme can achieve either: a working towards accreditation, Bronze, Silver or Gold Award.

Caring for the environment is always high on our agenda at Nottingham Conference Centre and we’re very proud of our strong environmental philosophy.

The Centre boasts over 3,000 square metres of sedum roof - a living moss-like material which absorbs carbon dioxide and provides a haven for insects and other wildlife in the city centre. The roof also helps to reduce flash flooding.

We use fair-trade sourced ingredients where possible and also support local and seasonal suppliers. Our investment in technology allows you to host video conferencing, enabling an international agenda without a large carbon footprint and our city-centre location means that delegates have access to Nottingham’s excellent public transport systems, including the award-winning tram network.

Mark Vater, Nottingham Conference Centre’s Commercial Manager said: ‘We’re very pleased to have been awarded the certificate in recognition of our efforts to reduce our environmental impact. Caring for the environment is a key philosophy for us here at Nottingham Conference Centre. We are keen to continue with the scheme and work towards the higher accreditations in the coming year.’
