Environmental policy

All venues in the IET Venues group are fully committed to reducing their impact on the environment, and as such IET London: Savoy Place is adopting the following approach across all events and office practices. 

How are we reducing our environmental impact?

• We are working towards accreditation by the Green Tourism Business Scheme (GTBS)
• We operate an on-site water purification system to eliminate unnecessary water bottle transportation (and excess waste)
• We rigorously turn off all lighting and air conditioning when not in use
• We promote our video conferencing facilities for both internal and external events to reduce unnecessary travel
• We use low energy light bulbs wherever possible
• We use Fair Trade products for the majority of teas and coffees served

What can you do to help?

Be a responsible visitor - seven things you can do to help save the planet:

1. Conserve energy - Reduce energy by switching off lights and closing windows if the heating is on. The Energy Saving Trust provides information on what you can do at home.
2. Give the car a rest - Leave the car behind, if only for a day. Walk, cycle or use public transport. See our transport page for directions. We are in a fantastic location within walking distance of major train/tube stations, visit the Transport for London website to plan your journey, Boris bikes are also outside the building for hire.
3. Reduce, reuse and recycle - Try to avoid overly packaged goods and say no to that extra carrier bag. Try to recycle waste you have. Every space in our venue has recycling bins for different materials to support you in this.
4. Be water wise - please use water wisely. Turn off the tap fully - whether you had turned it on in the first place or not!
5. Support Green Tourism Businesses - There are hundreds of businesses trying to reduce their environmental impacts through the GTBS. Businesses are awarded Bronze, Silver or Gold for their efforts to be more environmentally responsible.

Thank you for helping us to be greener!

We are open to suggestions of how to reduce our impact on the environment.
