ACC Liverpool

ACC Liverpool is a trailblazer in sustainable event delivery, offering state-of-the-art facilities while championing environmental responsibility. Situated on Liverpool’s iconic waterfront, our interconnected campus—comprising the Convention Centre, M&S Bank Arena, and Exhibition Centre Liverpool—delivers exceptional events with sustainability at its core.

Our commitment to sustainability is embedded across operations, with a bold target to achieve net zero status by 2030. We’ve already reached significant milestones, including carbon-neutral accreditation and a 12% reduction in emissions since our baseline year. By replacing gas-fired boilers with air-sourced heat pumps and transitioning to 100% renewable electricity, we’re saving thousands of tonnes of carbon while powering world-class events.

Innovation drives our approach, from rainwater harvesting systems supplying 40% of flushing water to ORCA technology that transforms unavoidable food waste into an eco-friendly liquid. Partnerships with organizations like Liverpool Zero Food Waste Community redistribute surplus food to those in need, reducing landfill and supporting the local community.

Collaboration is key to our success. We calculate the carbon footprint of every event, sharing energy impact statements and providing clients with tailored sustainability solutions. From compostable catering materials to public transport initiatives, we empower clients to deliver environmentally responsible events.

Our dedication to education ensures that sustainability is ingrained both internally and externally. A company-wide sustainability forum engages staff, while workshops and transparency initiatives inspire clients and peers to adopt greener practices.

Recognised with multiple accreditations, including Green Meetings Gold and Greengage ECOSmart Platinum, ACC Liverpool is not only transforming how events are delivered but also setting an industry benchmark. By balancing operational excellence with environmental stewardship, we are proud to lead the way towards a sustainable future for the events industry.
