Carbon neutral event venue, ExCeL London, has published its Sustainability Strategy.
Under the umbrella of ADNEC Group’s wider ESG ambitions, ExCeL’s Sustainability Strategy is driven by five key pillars: Sustainable Venue and Events; People, Culture and Safety; Community and Platform for Change; Clients, Partners and Supply Chain; and Governance and Ethics.
These pillars were developed following an assessment in 2022, with over 600 stakeholder representatives across key groups including event organisers, exhibitors, visitors, employees, suppliers, event industry partners and ExCeL’s local community.
During this process, ExCeL London identified what is important to its stakeholders and how ESG performance can be further improved in the long-term.
Humaid Al Dhaheri, chairman, ExCeL London, said: “At ADNEC Group, our objective is to grow in an ethical and responsible way. We want to balance commercial success with positive environmental and social impacts.
“ExCeL London’s Net Zero Strategy aligns with, and bolsters, our overarching sustainability ambitions under our corporate umbrella. We take pride in ExCeL London’s sustainability efforts, as they resonate with our pledge to generate long-term value for all stakeholders through ethically sound and sustainable practices across our operations.”
Jeremy Rees, CEO, ExCeL London, added: “Sustainable development is fundamental to our success. By shaping the future of our events into one that is net zero, resource efficient and equitable, we aim to be a sustainability leader within our industry.”
