Sustainable events start here: How The CCD helps you reduce your impact on the world around us.

Making an event sustainable does not mean compromising on quality. In fact, it often enhances the delegate experience. From smarter use of technology to thoughtful food choices, every decision has the potential to make a positive impact. By taking simple steps, you can reduce the environmental footprint of your event while also showing delegates and stakeholders that your organisation is forward-thinking and socially responsible.

At The CCD, we are here to support you with practical solutions that make it easy to deliver events that are both memorable and sustainable.

Use Digital Signage

• Reduce printed materials by making use of our high-spec digital displays for branding, schedules, and sponsor recognition.
• Replace printed agendas with digital programmes or mobile apps.

Rethink Event Materials

• If banners are necessary, design them for reuse or donate them for repurposing through our local partners.
• Spare stationery and equipment can also be donated to schools and charities.
• Encourage attendees to bring reusable water bottles and use our refill stations.
• Plan carefully to ensure accurate scheduling, helping to reduce energy use across the venue.
• Cut down on swag waste by choosing sustainable giveaways, such as reusable bottles or tote bags.
• Opt for eco-friendly lanyards and name tags made from recycled or biodegradable materials.

Promote Sustainable Transport

• The CCD is just a short walk from Dublin city centre and well connected by LUAS, buses and dublinbikes.
• Encourage delegates to use public transport or stay in local accommodation accessible to the venue on foot to minimise travel emissions.

Use Local Suppliers

• Choosing local suppliers for AV, furniture and exhibition builds reduces shipping emissions and supports the Dublin economy. We can provide a trusted list of approved suppliers.

Sustainable hospitality options

• Food and beverage is at the heart of every event, and it is also where some of the biggest sustainability gains can be made. At The CCD, we place a strong focus on seasonality, provenance, and healthy choices to create a hospitality experience that is both memorable and environmentally responsible.

At The CCD, sustainability is about partnership. We provide the tools, the team and the expertise. By making conscious choices together, we can create events that deliver unforgettable experiences while protecting the planet for the future.
