The Midlands based agency has developed the most encompassing database of hotels and venues in the UK, which gives a snapshot of the venue’s CSR practices including recycling and waste; energy and efficiency; contribution to the local community.

Collated since early 2008, the Venue Sustainability Rating database draws information directly from the venues by means of an online survey at www.conferencecare.com/venuesurvey .  Sophisticated analysis then assigns an individual Sustainability Rating to each property and helps the corporate event planner in their decision making process. The rating can also be used as a criterion of choice in venue searches.   

As just one of a handful of agencies already ISO 14001 certified, the database demonstrates Conference Care’s commitment to socially aware meetings and events. Hotel groups already committed to the Sustainability Rating include Q hotels, DeVere Venues, Marriott Hotels and Barcelo.
