BCD M&E hosted a roundtable discussion for buyers to discuss sustainability and responsibility in the sector, 3 July. The event took place at the Natural History Museum.
Held in collaboration with the London Convention Bureau, guests looked at the attitudes and changing behaviours towards recycling and reduction of food waste in the conference, meeting and events industry.
Paul Black, head of business events at the London Convention Bureau said: “London Climate Action Week is part of the Mayor’s ambition to make London the world’s greenest city and a leader in tackling issues relating to climate change. The capital has an enormous legacy in hosting events and it’s imperative that we encourage organisations to look at the impact their events – both big and small – have on the environment. BCD M&E has a demonstrable forward-thinking and proactive stance on sustainability, and we are delighted to have partnered with them on this insightful and productive event at the Natural History Museum.”
John Kelly, director, Marketing EMEA at BCD M&E added: “Our Green White Paper was extremely well-received when we launched 6 months ago, however, we know the pace for change in sustainability and the environment is fast hence we wanted to revisit and look at what is next. It’s very fitting to have supported London Climate Action Week and to be able to lend our support to the Mayor’s London Environment Strategy and also to see what suppliers are doing and what the expectations are from our corporate clients.”
