Twickenham Stadium, the home of England rugby, has received Greengage’s Gold ECOsmart accreditation.
The accreditation adds to other sustainable endorsements including, BS20121, ISO14001, and its own commitment to achieve net zero.
The venue was praised for its commitment to sustainable event food, illustrated by its ‘zero waste to landfill policy’, which has been in place for the last eight years. Additionally, 95% of its food is prepared and cooked onsite, using at least 80% British ingredients, with all cooking oil recycled.
Andrew Perolls, CEO, Greengage, said: “Twickenham Stadium ticked all the boxes when it came to awarding the Gold Standard ECOsmart accreditation. They are a business that is continually reviewing what they are doing with regards to sustainability and challenging themselves internally.
“They are also a sharing business and have taken great steps to pass on what they learn to other businesses; this is an important part of us all striving for an even more sustainable industry.”
