Conference Care has been awarded Greengage’s ECOsmart certification.
The ECOsmart certification recognises Conference Care’s comprehensive approach to environmental sustainability within its business and its ability to promote a green approach to its clients.
A recent poll by Greengage Travel & Event Solutions, amongst corporates and event industry professionals, revealed that 81% expect environmental sustainability to be an important or very important consideration in event planning during 2021.
Chris Peacock, director and founder of Conference Care, said: “We are thrilled to have been accredited with the ECOsmart award, which we have been working towards with Greengage for some time. I’m a great believer in taking responsibility for your own actions, and fortunately at Conference Care we have an amazing group of people making up our ‘Plan-it!’ team and who are committed to making a difference.”
Andrew Perolls, CEO of Greengage Travel & Event Solutions, commented: “Event agencies and meeting venues need to be ahead of the curve as the green agenda ramps up. The certification process helps businesses develop their green approach, plug any gaps and then demonstrate their sustainability credentials following an independent audit.”
Perolls added: “I am delighted that Conference Care have achieved this award. Chris and the team have been passionate long-term advocates of a more eco-friendly approach to events and have operated as a carbon neutral company since 2010. ECOsmart certification formally recognises this and creates the type of objective benchmark that event organisers are looking for.”
