Sustainability Policy

Renewable Energy: CEC is committed to progressively increase the use of renewable energy in its total energy consumption. The venue is powered in part by rooftop solar panels, harnessing clean energy that significantly reduces the venue’s carbon footprint.

Efficient Lighting: CEC is equipped with LED and energy-efficient lighting. LED technology consumes up to 80–90% less energy than traditional lighting and has a longer lifespan, which reduces both maintenance needs and waste generation. This not only lowers the venue’s carbon footprint but also ensures a more sustainable operational environment.

Zero-Waste Objective: CEC is committed to a zero-waste objective by striving to minimise landfill waste through reduction, reuse and recycling practices. Waste is segregated at source, and usable event materials are repurposed where possible, ensuring resources are recycled or re used whenever possible.

Digital-First Approach: By adopting a digital-first mindset, CEC reduces its reliance on printed materials. Event programmes, registration, tickets and promotional content are delivered electronically, minimising paper use hence lowering the environmental impact.

Sustainable Materials: CEC encourages the use of sustainable materials for events, including biodegradable, recyclable and reusable options. Materials used for items such as signages, carpets, badges and lanyards are selected with sustainability in mind, with collection points provided to facilitate reuse or recycling after events.

Sourcing: CEC prioritises locally sourced food options, reducing the environmental impact of long-distance transportation while supporting local producers and communities.

Minimise Single-Use Plastics: CEC promotes the use of reusable or biodegradable packaging, cutlery and cups. Water refill stations are available throughout the venue, and attendees are encouraged to bring refillable bottles instead of relying on single-use plastics.

Meal Options: CEC supports sustainable dining by encouraging event organisers to have a variety of plant-based meal options, which have a significantly lower environmental footprint compared to meat-based alternatives.

Mindful Consumption: CEC encourages event organisers to provide water refill stations, promoting responsible consumption and reducing single-use plastic bottles. Attendees are urged to refill only as needed, helping to minimise water wastage.

Sustainable Facilities: CEC is equipped with water-efficient facilities, including low-flow taps and sensors, to reduce overall water usage in the venue. These measures ensure essential resources are conserved while maintaining a high-quality experience for all users.

CEC collaborates with vendors, suppliers and sponsors who share our commitment to sustainability. Preference is given to partners that provide eco-friendly products, services and practices, ensuring that events held at the venue align with our environmental and social responsibility goals.

Sustainability Messaging: CEC promotes its sustainability initiatives to event organisers and attendees, encouraging their participation in eco-conscious practices.

Internal Communication: Foster a culture of sustainability within the Company by regularly communicating the importance of environmental responsibility and encouraging employee participation in sustainable initiatives.

Sustainable Vendors: Collaborate with vendors and sponsors that prioritise sustainability by offering eco-friendly products, services or practices.

Community Engagement: Foster strong connections with local communities and prioritise local over overseas vendors.

Diversity and Inclusion: Ensure the venue and office environment is accessible and inclusive, fostering diversity among participants, staff, and vendors. Commit to equitable hiring practices that promote equal opportunities for individuals from diverse backgrounds.
