The Venues Collection Wins Gold for Sustainability at the Conference & Event Awards 2025

The Venues Collection has proudly secured Gold in the ‘Sustainability Award for Venues’ at the 2025 Conference & Event Awards! 

This prestigious honour celebrates venues that lead the way in eco-conscious operations. Through bold initiatives and real impact across all five locations, The Venues Collection continues to set the standard for sustainability in the events industry.

 

Judges praised the Group, saying: “The Venues Collection sets a new benchmark for sustainability in the events industry with outstanding, innovative initiatives across multiple venues.”

Sustainability is at the heart of TVC’s ethos, driven by its Future First Charter – a framework that sets clear, trackable goals across three core pillars: People Pledge, Food Focus, and Enriching Environments.

Among the achievements celebrated were:

100% renewable electricity usage and zero waste to landfill across all sites
1 million kWh of renewable energy generated annually
The UK’s first venue group to remove dairy from all desserts.
Carbon-labelling on all menus, helping organisers make informed, sustainable choices
On-site composting, biodiversity initiatives, and the planned rollout of solar-powered EV chargers
A culture of staff training, client education, and supply chain collaboration
 
Joanne Barratt, Managing Director of The Venues Collection, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to win Gold for sustainability. This award is a testament to the hard work and passion of our entire team. Sustainability isn’t a bolt-on for us – it’s woven into everything we do; from the food we serve to how we power our buildings and educate our clients. We’re proud to lead the way in responsible hospitality and to support our organisers in delivering low-impact, high-quality events.”

The win reinforces The Group’s commitment to deep decarbonisation and positions it as a true pioneer in sustainable events.
