Environmental
We are on a mission to ensure that our venue and all the events held here, are as environmentally conscious as possible.
It’s fair to say that for many years the events industry has been known for its hefty carbon footprint. Travel, hospitality, catering, giveaways and promotional materials all playing their part in the large consumption of resources and energy. Currently, however, there is an exciting and necessary movement for change within our industry and Horizon Leeds is determined to play an active and leading role.
We have have already laid the foundations for reducing our consumption, such as replacing all lighting to low energy LED’s; creating a permanent home for our Broadcast Studio, allowing for attendance at meetings without travel, and working with green suppliers like Catering Yorkshire on our green catering strategy.
We need to go further faster and look towards a greener future for Horizon Leeds. We want to improve all aspects of our venue and event process to ensure we operate as sustainably as possible across all areas of the business. In doing so, we also want to confidently promote this way of thinking to our clients and encourage them to embrace a greener approach to events in their own organisations.
