Sustainability is a shared responsibility that requires collective action. At the EICC, we are committed to helping you minimise your event's environmental impact through our expertise and resources.

Our sustainability programme, Step Change, is designed to guide you in implementing sustainable practices at every stage of your event.

By working together, we can not only reduce your event's footprint but also contribute to Edinburgh’s journey toward becoming a net-zero city. Through Step Change, we support projects that protect Scotland’s unique environment and wildlife, ensuring that your event leaves a positive legacy for future generations.
