Sustainability
Australia is a destination shaped by its natural beauty, rich cultural heritage, and strong communities – qualities that also guide our approach to sustainability. Australians value protecting what makes their country unique and special, whilst creating opportunities for people and places to thrive.
Within the business events sector, there is a growing focus on reducing environmental impacts, minimising waste, and preserving Australia’s unique biodiversity. From venues to suppliers and events planners, there’s a shared effort to deliver events that are not only world-class but also environmentally responsible.
Beyond environmental responsibilities, business events in Australia also aim to leave a positive lasting legacy for host communities by supporting local economies, creating jobs, and providing opportunities to engage First Nation suppliers – whose participation enriches the events experience and promotes cultural respect and understanding.
Green is our Gold
Our "Green is our Gold" principles are our way of showing how we protect and celebrate Australia's natural and cultural treasures for future generations to come. Travel respectfully and care for Australia, just like a local, when you come and say g'day.
