Sustainability<br />
at <strong>BEVA</strong>19<br />
This year Congress is focusing<br />
on green initiatives to promote<br />
sustaibility and do our bit for the<br />
environment.<br />
These include...<br />
Water Bottles<br />
This year each one of our<br />
delegate bags will contain<br />
a reusable water bottle to<br />
reduce single-use plastic.<br />
Find a water fountain and<br />
fill up!<br />
Digital<br />
Paperwork<br />
The <strong>BEVA</strong>19 Congress<br />
handbook can be accessed<br />
digitally. Last year 895<br />
delegates chose digital,<br />
saving 268,500 pieces of<br />
paper.<br />
A Second Life for<br />
Delegate Bags<br />
Any delegate bags left over<br />
after Congress are sent to<br />
charities for redistribution.<br />
Last year our bags travelled<br />
to the Gambia to be used<br />
as school bags by the local<br />
children.<br />
Car Share<br />
We’re encouraging our<br />
attendees to consider<br />
offering a lift to another<br />
attending vet, this is not<br />
only better for the environment but<br />
benefits you too!<br />
• Reduced fuel costs and parking<br />
fees<br />
• Better air quality and lower<br />
carbon emissions due to<br />
reduced traffic fumes<br />
• Less congestion and shorter<br />
journeys due to fewer cars on<br />
the road<br />
• The journey becomes social<br />
and more enjoyable<br />
Check out liftshare.com to find and<br />
advertise spare seats.<br />
The Venue<br />
The ICC itself runs<br />
a comprehensive<br />
sustainability<br />
programme. This includes energy<br />
saving sensors, reduced energy<br />
LED lighting, recycling bins for glass,<br />
paper and cardboard and “green<br />
menus”, ensuring food is sourced<br />
sustainably and as locally as<br />
possible.<br />
