Investing in the future... And the Planet
Sustainability is at the heart of Southampton’s business strategy. Below the city’s ground are geothermal rocks which provide energy to some of the retail outlets, businesses and venues in the city. Geothermal power is cost-effective, reliable, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.
At Destination Southampton we have an Environmental Policy, and we recognize that the events industry can have an impact on the environment at a local, regional and global level. Consequently, we are committed to continuous improvements wherever possible. We recommend suppliers with a good record for using recyclable materials, energy-efficient machinery, and sustainable products.
