The Convention Centre Dublin holds three ISO accreditations – Event Sustainability Management ISO20121, Quality Standard ISO 9001 and Environmental Standard ISO 14001, as well as British Security Standard BS7499.
The implementation of these ISO standards throughout The CCD helps us to maintain delivery efficiencies and ensure continual improvement in environmental sustainability. To retain ISO certification, we are audited on a regular basis. In 2021, The CCD received certification that the venue is being supplied with 100% renewable electricity.
The ISO 20121 accreditation was awarded by SGS, the awarding body on behalf of ISO, in November 2021. The CCD is one of only three venues in Ireland to hold this accreditation. Having the standard shows The CCD’s commitment to sustainability and leading event sustainability in Ireland. The venue’s hospitality service partners, Fitzers also holds this standard.
In 2021, The CCD became the third venue in the world to receive the highest-level Gold accreditation from the World Obesity Federation’s Healthy Venue programme. The health and wellbeing of everyone that visits The CCD remains a priority of ours. We believe that running healthy conferences and events lead to happier, more energised and engaged delegates.
The CCD received the Fáilte Ireland COVID-19 Safety Charter. This accreditation demonstrates that we are committed to providing delegates with a safe space and that we adhere to official guidelines for re-opening.
