UK Public Health Association & BIC Conferencing - Case Study
UK Public Health Association (UKPHA) & Bournemouth International Centre (BIC) Sustainable Conferencing - Case Study
Working together to reduce our impact on the environment
Reducing the environmental impact of a large conference in Bournemouth with over 800 delegates was a challenge that the UK Public Health Association (UKPHA), an established Public Health national association, and the Bournemouth International Centre tackled together when planning the UKPHA 18th Annual Forum held earlier this year.
The Challenge
Unlike larger corporate organisations and as a registered charity, UKPHA are unable to offset environmental impact with cash, so the UKPHA and the BIC had to work together to devise innovative ways to support and encourage delegates to reduce their individual impact on the environment before, during and after their two day Forum held in March 2010.
The UKPHA needed to be mindful of retaining the value of the Forum whilst at the same time removing many tangible Forum ‘perceived benefits’ such as paper reports, handouts and conference bags.
“At the heart of the UKPHA is one of our core objectives – to lead the way in promoting sustainable development and ensuring healthy environments for future generations. Eco footprinting plays an ever more important role in helping organisations to analyse their own impact on our fragile environment and how we can protect it for future generations.” Angela Mawle, Chief Executive, UK Public Health Association.
