5. Truly Sustainable

At Adelaide Convention Centre, sustainability is embedded in everything we do, from our food and design, our practices and our people. We’re obsessed with energy and water conservation, responsible sourcing and minimising waste to landfill, and work closely with our clients on sustainable event management to help reduce their event footprint for a better tomorrow.

A truly sustainable venue, we are committed to delivering magnificent events with low environmental impact. As evidence of our global sustainability leadership, we are the world’s first convention centre to achieve EarthCheck Master status, which represents more than 15 years best practice in business, social and environmental sustainability. In 2025, we achieved our 17th consecutive year of certification with the global EarthCheck program.

In addition to environmental sustainability, we have a strong focus on social sustainability. Our Legacy & Impact Program has been designed to help amplify our own social impact while also helping inspire, educate and support event organisers in leaving lasting event legacies in South Australia.  Learn more: adelaidecc.com.au/about/truly-sustainable.
