Henley Conference Centre – Committed to sustainability

Henley Conferences and Events at Greenlands has been awarded platinum tier accreditation by International Association of Conference Centres (the IACC) for the third year in succession.

The IACC has a rigorous Code of Sustainability which includes 60 tenets in the following areas:

•   Education, Awareness and Public Declaration

•   Waste Management

•   Recycling

•   Reuse

•   Water Conservation

•   Purchasing

•   Energy Management

•   Air Quality

•   Food & Beverage

IACC monitors and updates the Code periodically in order to ensure that it reflects state-of-the-art best practices. When IACC members sign the Code of Sustainability, they certify that their organisation supports IACC’s Environmental Policy and they join with other members in striving for more sustainable, environmentally responsible industry policies and practices.

Members are required to update the status of their adherence to applicable tenets in the Code on an annual basis and IACC recognises three tiers of participation, silver, gold and platinum. Only members that achieve 100% of the Code qualify for the Platinum Tier and Greenlands were the first venue in the UK to achieve this excellent standard in 2010. 

To attain this level for three years running demonstrates our continued commitment to being the leaders in the drive to provide a fully sustainable conference and meetings venue.
