Economic
Helping more people enjoy better events
Our economic sustainability begins with a business model designed to build the reputation of our venue, facilities and expertise to support our financial success, whilst achieving our key objective of providing quality conferencing facilities to healthcare clients at a reduced rate.
We achieve this through working with organisations who support the NHS, whether that be venue finding businesses, organisations’ internal event teams or training companies who facilitate NHS training. We also promote Horizon Leeds internally, via NHS Confederation, with the help of their Membership team.
This is all well and good; however, we know that to work towards greater economic sustainability we need to ensure that our suppliers also have the same values and are acting to reduce their impact on the planet. This is why one of our pledges in 2023 is around green procurement and the creation of green criteria for current and new suppliers.

Sustaining Great Relationships – Ringtons
A great brew, whether that’s black tea, fruit tea or coffee, is a great accompaniment to an event. It’s important for us to offer a rich, quality taste, but not at the expense of the planet. Ringtons help us do just that.
Sustainable Event Catering
Sustainability is back where it should be; at the top of the agenda, we thought there was no better time to sit down with our caterers, Catering Yorkshire, to find out how they are leading the way in providing sustainable event catering.
