We are constantly looking for ways to benefit the world and help where we can, and that will remain a key objective of the BDC’s focus each year.</p><p>For over thirteen<span style="font-size: 1rem;"> years now, the BDC has been a certified carbon neutral venue. We maintain key commitments, such as sending zero waste to landfill and using 100% renewable electricity for the building, all the while offsetting any residual carbon emissions we cannot avoid. You can read more about this journey in our carbon neutral section.</span></p><p>We are looking forward to reducing our carbon footprint even further over the next few years, as we meet our goal to reach net zero emissions before 2030.</p></div></div></div></div><div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-515d5ba" data-id="515d5ba" data-element_type="column"><div class="elementor-widget-wrap"></div></div></div></section><section class="elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-bbf0c2c elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle" data-id="bbf0c2c" data-element_type="section" data-settings="{"background_background":"classic"}"><div class="elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default"><div class="elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-b756051" data-id="b756051" data-element_type="column"><div class="elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated"><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-7b3508e underline elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="7b3508e" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Our Policy</h2></div></div><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-c530261 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="c530261" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><p>Working with ecollective in advancing our journey to achieving Net-Zero by the end of 2030 has been a key focus in 2022.

This is also in alignment with sending zero waste to landfill, and instead identifying cleaner ways to dispose of waste materials.
