Environmental responsibility

One Wimpole Street operates a sustainable event policy wherever and whenever possible.
We have been assessed by the Carbon Trust, and are one of the only venues to have achieved BS8901 sustainable events certification.

We do

• Manage our venue's energy consumption by turning off unnecessary light and climate control to our rooms through a computerised BMS system
• Use Fairtrade products for all our hot beverages - Teas and Coffees
• Buy from small independent suppliers, and have seasonal produce tailored to our conference menus
• Have an on-site water purification system which has saved annually an estimated 92,000 1 litre glass bottles from being transported and saving an estimated 7,200 tonnes of carbon emissions.
• Use environmentally friendly cleaning products
• Operate an emission free electric vehicle to transport materials around the Royal Society of Medicine estate in W1
• Use electronic documentation and files where possible to limit paper consumption
• Install Tft Screens for conference room signage cutting paper usage
• Encourage the streaming of events so fringe delegates can access the conference at a time that suits them
• Encourage the use of video conferencing in all meetings allowing potential overseas attendees to reduce their carbon footprint by accessing the event remotely
• Use low energy light bulbs where possible

We don't

• Use air freight transport where possible, allowing us to limit "food miles"
• Use disposable or non-recyclable packaging
• Use Aerosols - all cleaning materials are in reusable containers
• Believe that the events industry needs to be a wasteful one
