As part of Lancaster University, Lancaster Conferences and Events+ places sustainability at the heart of everything it does.
Lancaster University has won several awards for its approach to sustainability and is one of the highest producers of renewable energy out of all UK Universities.
Sustainability is a core value for all at Lancaster University and we actively promote sustainability to those who use our venues. At Lancaster Conferences and Events+ we’re proud to be at the forefront of the sustainable conference movement; leading the way by making our offering more environmentally friendly and encouraging greener behaviours wherever we can.
Through the university’s well documented green initiatives, including the onsite wind turbine which is projected to generate around 14% of the University’s annual electricity consumption, we give clients the reassurance that our sustainability values are credible and making real change.
Energy and Carbon
We are committed to sourcing and providing food and drink produced to the highest environmental, social and economic standards.
Lancaster offers a great transport network with superb links between the city, campus and further afield.
Sustainability is at the heart of our campus plan with more than 25,000 trees, 6.5 miles worth of hedgerows, new buildings that reduce environmental impact, our ECOHub allotment and orchard, and plenty of green spaces to relax and socialise with friends.
The traceability of food is very important to us and we ensure our food is produced with fresh ingredients from local suppliers within a 30-mile radius where possible. Making the most of the best produce Lancashire has to offer. Local and seasonal fruit and vegetables are used to craft our plant-based and vegetarian-focused menus.
The platinum accreditation highlighted many great initiatives that Lancaster University Conferences and Events+ have in place to support sustainability practices having received an 85% score for their sustainability evaluation.
