Carbon neutral for over 13 years

For over thirteen years now, the BDC has been a certified carbon neutral venue. We maintain key commitments, such as sending zero waste to landfill and using 100% renewable electricity for the building, all the while offsetting any residual carbon emissions we cannot avoid.

Donate Not Waste initiative

We conceived ‘Donate Not Waste’ many years ago; an initiative that helps clients and our team to recycle business waste by donating items that can be used to charities, schools, and play centres. We often send stationery, display materials, boxes and other practical items that are no longer needed, to good homes and advocate in not letting reusable items end up in the bin.

Donations through A Good Thing

More recently, we have established a connection with A Good Thing, who have enabled us to reach further than our established network in the community. A Good Thing runs an online platform that allows businesses to quickly and easily give things away to local charities. So far we have made donations of notebooks and new shoes donated post event and are working to better connect those who use the venue with A Good Thing.

Awards for CSR and ESG

The steps we have taken to improve our impact on the planet have been recognised within the events industry and further. We have received recognition with multiple awards, including the Exhibition News (EN) CSR Award in both 2018 and 2019, and more recently the EN ESG Award in 2022.
