Sustainability
In 2022, the IET achieved the silver Investors in the Environment Accreditation for the sustainable practices across the organisation, including IET Venues.
At Savoy Place they have also received a platinum ECOsmart Accreditation, which is given to only a few exceptional hotels and venues that show extensive measures taken to fully embrace environmental sustainability.
Here are some of the approaches adopted across the events & offices:
- None of the building’s daily waste goes to landfill, it is either recycled or incinerated then converted into energy.
- The IET recycle all glass, paper, ink/copier cartridges, batteries, light fittings plastics, cans, and food.
- Toilets are fitted with low water systems and sensory taps are installed in the washrooms.
- All rooms have energy-efficient heating/cooling systems
- There is no parking on-site. Instead, staff, visitors, members, and clients are encouraged to use public transport.
- Community sourcing policy i.e. sustainable, responsible local and regional procurement, reducing food miles.
