Church House Westminster has announced it is committed to achieving Net Zero by 2030.
The events and conference venue aims to “go beyond meeting compulsory environmental legislation”. It will instead implement “innovative and exemplary measures” to minimise and offset the environmental impact of its operations and offerings.
This includes reducing water and energy usage in all operations across the building, prioritising recycling and using local services and products.
Church House Westminster will also renew its energy and mechanics on site, as well as replace gas equipment with green-energy appliances, introduce motion-sensitive lighting, sensory taps, and integrate smart-energy management systems.
Its commitment also extends to its service providers. Searcy’s, the venue’s newly appointed British caterer, will support Church House Westminster in its mission to become a net-zero building by 2030.
These measures include sourcing produce from local suppliers, offering plant-based choices, reducing food waste across its menus; and minimising its carbon footprint with ingredient swaps.
Stephanie Maurel, CEO of The Corporation of the Church House, said: “At Church House Westminster, we are on a mission to work in the most sustainable way possible and are constantly finding new ways to help the environment through our working practices.
“Our ultimate success depends on our collective efforts as organisations and individuals to preserve the beauty of our country and planet, without which our clients and tenants will cease to come.”
