The venues listed below have confirmed that they are using the "Greener Events" guide as a tool to help reduce the environmental impact of conferences and seminars that they are associated with. The notification date is shown in brackets.

Venues registered here are not necessarily doing everything listed in the guide's checklist, it means that they agree with the guide's principles of low carbon, use of local produce where possible and low waste and that they use the guide to work towards continual improvement for their events.

There is no charge for this but there are commercial, financial and reputational advantages in being seen to be using this guide as a management tool to help reduce environmental impacts whilst supporting local producers.

Whilst www.oursouthwest.com cannot endorse individual venues, many of those listed here do provide facilities that meet sustainability criteria with lower environmental impacts and are therefore worth considering for your conferences, seminars and other events.
