In today’s business landscape, sustainability and social responsibility are no longer optional — they are decisive factors for meeting planners and buyers when selecting venues. As expectations rise, it is vital that IACC members showcase their environmental and social credentials clearly and credibly.
That’s why we encourage you to undertake the IACC Green Star certification. As an active member of IACC, the process is simple, entirely online, and cost-free — complete the online survey here, providing you with an accessible way to highlight your venue’s commitment to sustainability.
Even if your venue already holds other sustainability certifications, Green Star offers important added value. Many IACC members proudly feature multiple certifications, reinforcing their credibility and helping them stand out to increasingly conscientious buyers. Adding Green Star alongside your existing accreditations strengthens your reputation and demonstrates your comprehensive commitment to sustainable practices.
