Sustainability

ESGCT is committed to sustainability, particularly in the context of the in-person events organised by the society.

​

ESGCT strives to:

- select venues with good links to public transportation and which have sustainability policies

and procedures in place, including but not limited to energy and resource-saving practices,

the use of environmentally-friendly cleaning products, water-conservation measures, visible

and accessible options for waste separation, and employing renewable energy wherever

possible; official sustainability certification is preferred

- minimise the shipment of materials by consolidating shipments into as few movements as

possible

- select suppliers who have commitments to sustainability wherever possible, with a particular

emphasis on conference catering

- minimise the use of single-use, disposable materials and prioritise recyclable and reusable

materials

​

In addition, since 2020 the society has stopped the practice of producing a congress programme

book and no longer accepts printed materials from society sponsors which were distributed to

each delegate at our events, which saves a large quantity of paper and single-use items.
