- Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre has been awarded EarthCheck Master Certification for its leadership in environmental and social responsibility.
The Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre (BCEC) has achieved the highest level of EarthCheck certification, recognising a sustained commitment to environmental and social responsibility over 15 consecutive years.
The Centre has been awarded EarthCheck Master Certification for demonstrating enduring leadership in environmental and social responsibility across their operations, culture and decision-making.
“Achieving EarthCheck Master Certification is not simply about reaching a milestone. It represents 15 years of leadership, discipline and continuous improvement,” EarthCheck CEO Stewart Moore said.
“BCEC has demonstrated that sustainability is embedded into how the organisation operates, how its people make decisions and how it continues to invest in better outcomes for the future.”
Today, BCEC’s sustainability initiatives span resource recovery, food waste reduction, energy efficiency, cultural inclusion, community partnerships and staff engagement, demonstrating a whole-of-business approach to sustainability.
Sustainability & Community Engagement Coordinator Jodie Summers plays a key role in advancing environmental and social initiatives.
“Strong sustainability outcomes are built through embedding environmental and social responsibility into systems and everyday decision-making,” Summers said.
“This recognition reflects a sustained centre-wide effort to embed environmental and social responsibility into every aspect of our operations.
“The strongest outcomes are achieved when it’s woven into everyday decision-making rather than treated as an additional consideration.”
BCEC general manager Kym Guesdon said the recognition is a testament to the team’s collective contribution.
“Our ability to improve energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact while supporting a growing events business highlights the commitment, innovation and leadership of Team BCEC,” she said.
“Environmental and social outcomes are increasingly important considerations for event organisers and this recognition reinforces our ability to support clients in delivering events that meet both business and sustainability goals.”
