Environmental Initiatives

Warwick Conferences are committed to the environment and exercise an ongoing improvement plan to look at best practice throughout our industry and also at new and innovative means of reducing the negative impacts our business may have on the environment.

The Environment Committee is responsible for the formulation, development and implementation of all of Warwick Conferences' Training and Conference Centres environmental initiatives. The committee works, in conjunction with other University of Warwick departments and external companies. The committee is made up of volunteers from each of the Training and Conference Centres, one of which takes on the role of Chairperson - Andrew Taylor, Food & Beverage Manager at Radcliffe House. The committee meets on a regular basis to discuss the many different environmental issues which affect us at Warwick Conferences and to make decisions on future developments.

With this in mind, Warwick Conferences encourage all of our customers and staff to remember two key ideas: "REDUCE, REUSE and RECYCLE" and "SWITCH IT OFF".
