SAACI is going green
SAACI has announced that it will be implementing measures to reduce the carbon footprint of the SAACI National Conference 2011 (24 – 26 July) in an effort to minimise its impact on the environment.
Waste, water, energy, accommodation, procurement, communication, training and local economic and social development are all key areas that SAACI will address in the hosting of its annual conference.
A Carbon Audit of the conference will also be conducted, and the steps taken to reduce the carbon footprint of the conference will be identified and listed. The aim is to use the SAACI National Conference as an incubator and real life test case on how to reduce the carbon footprint of a conference. These results will be made available to the industry to emulate.
The carbon footprint of this conference will also be used as a benchmark for the next hosts to improve on.
