Cavendish to become first landfill neutral venues

Christy Wyatt, 28 November 2008

Cavendish Conference Venues will become the first group of venues in central London to be landfill neutral in January 2009.

The status is being achieved through schemes including incentivising organisers to responsibly dispose of waste and securing an efficient system of recycling food waste.

"Our commitment to the environment is not a reaction to the recent upsurge in demand for green venues," said director of Cavendish Conference Venues Tom Mayers. "Our ethos has always been to develop and establish the very best green credentials possible within all our venues."

The news follows the company's recent nomination for the ‘Visit London Sustainable Tourism Award' and its acquisition of a Green Tourism Silver Award during November 2008.
