ACC Liverpool is officially the first large-scale conference venue in the UK to join isla as it proceeds with its commitment towards sustainability in the events industry.

isla focuses to direct sustainable practice in the events, venue and associated sectors through training programmes, committed tools centred on decreasing and reporting on industry carbon emissions including Proseed and TRACE as well as peer-to-peer knowledge sharing at member and industry-specific forums.

isla will be working with ACC Liverpool to contribute best practices and offer guidance and training to help the organisation’s journey towards Carbon Net Zero 2050.

Faye Dyer, managing director, of The ACC Liverpool Group, said: “We are fortunate to work in an industry which is focused on people meeting to share knowledge, and ideas and ultimately to make a difference. It is all our responsibility to consider how we can use this as a platform and to make the necessary measures needed to implement changes.

“It is with this in mind that we launched our Social Value Impact Plan which focuses on five key areas – community; environment, sustainability and climate action; procurement with purpose; event industry impact and people. isla is very much aligned with our own commitments and we are excited to see how the team’s expertise will support our own environmental objectives, enable us to collaborate and above all make positive change in the industry.”

Social Value Scheme

Apart from ACC Liverpool’s commitment to helping the delivery of the government’s vow to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050, it is striving to maintain zero landfill status and support the growth of remarkably low carbon events.

The venue is also moving towards the delivery of the second year of its Social Value Plan. Current aims include placing LED lights across their campus – which includes M&S Bank Arena and Exhibition Centre Liverpool – besides the team proceeding to achieve ISO150001. It also aims to reduce single-use plastics across the site and implement a food composting system.
