WHSMelbourne2024 and the Environment
MCEC and the Environment
The Melbourne Exhibition and Convention Centre (MCEC) has been chosen, in part, due to their robust and evolving sustainability focus. There are a range of policies in place to address and mitigate where possible the environmental impact of large scale events such as WHSMelbourne2024. Below are just a few of the policies they have in place:
Pathway to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030
Maintain EarthCheck Gold Certification (achieved in 2022 and exceeded target with Platinum Certification in 2023)
Transition to renewable energy (target of 100% renewable electricity by 2028)
Prioritise local ethical sustainable suppliers
Water conservation (in 2022, consumed approximately half the potable water than the region leader)
Waste diversion (diverted 26,000 single use coffee cups from landfill in 2023 thanks to a new reusable coffee cup program)
Contribution to net increase in biodiversity, habitats and ecosystems health in Victoria
