The Birmingham Conference and Events Centre (BCEC) and the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre are proud to announce they have once again been awarded the prestigious Silver Green Tourism Award – marking their second consecutive year of recognition and bringing them a step closer to achieving Gold status.
Presented by Green Tourism, the UK’s leading sustainability accreditation body, the award recognises the continued commitment of both the conference venue and hotel to sustainable and responsible hospitality. Over the past year, both sites have built on their environmental initiatives, further strengthening efforts around energy efficiency, water conservation, sustainable sourcing, community engagement and the promotion of low-carbon travel options.
This consecutive achievement reflects the ongoing sustainability strategy of the Cairn Group, which operates both the BCEC and the Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre. The group remains focused on reducing its environmental impact while enhancing the wellbeing of its teams, guests and the wider community, guided by Green Tourism’s best-practice framework and its own evolving sustainability commitments.
We’re incredibly proud to have secured the Silver Green Tourism Award for a second year running. This recognition highlights the consistency of our efforts and the progress we continue to make across both venues. With each year, we are closing the gap to Gold, and remain committed to pushing even further in delivering more sustainable experiences for our guests.
- Matt Woodall, Venue Manager at the BCEC
Visitors to both venues are encouraged to play their part, with initiatives and guidance in place to support energy conservation, recycling, responsible consumption and the use of more sustainable travel options.
Retaining this award for a second consecutive year further strengthens the BCEC and Holiday Inn Birmingham City Centre’s position as leading destinations for environmentally conscious meetings, events and accommodation in the Midlands.
