Church House Westminster among top sustainable venues in London

This venue has been featured as Hire Space’s Top Sustainable Conference Venue in London, amongst six other spectacular eco-friendly venues!

Their sustainability policy includes a commitment to being net zero by 2030.

Church House Westminster will:

• Integrate environmental management into their everyday operations.

• Improve environmental efficiency.

• Help clients and tenants reduce their carbon footprint when using the building.

To date, Church House Westminster has achieved:

Water-saving initiatives have been implemented – the biggest one being the conversion of urinals to a waterless system. This conversion has reduced water consumption by 80% (that’s 12,000,000 litres of water in 2021 compared with a 2018 baseline).

By reviewing operating hours and having tighter control of lighting systems, the venue has seen a 23% reduction in electricity use. 2022/23 will see the refitting of a large area of the building which will see the move to LED lighting and better air quality control which will reduce the amount of electricity used to ventilate the building.

No waste will be sent to a landfill. 75% of all waste from Church House is either recycled or sent for

the anaerobic digestion (which generates gas and fertiliser from waste food) the remaining 25% of waste is used for energy recovery to power homes and businesses.

The venue has recently changed the cleaning contract with a Planet Mark certified contractor. Recycled paper products will now be used throughout the building alongside chemical-free cleaning processes.

Their mission is to help save the planet and actively seek to minimise and manage the environmental impact of all operations and offerings.
