Your Role in Our Mission Zero Journey

At ESCRS, we recognise that creating a sustainable event requires collective effort. We invite all participants to join us in reducing the environmental impact of our Congress through simple, practical actions. Read below to see how you can contribute.

London offers a wide range of options for more sustainable travel:

Walk or cycle where possible. Excel London provides free cycle parking at the West Entrance. Use London’s extensive public transport network. The Elizabeth line and DLR provide direct access to Excel London, with Custom House serving the West Entrance and Prince Regent the East Entrance.
If travelling from elsewhere in the UK or Europe, consider International Rail instead of flying where practical.
Use contactless payment or an Oyster card across London’s public transport network.

When selecting your accommodation in London, look for hotels with recognised sustainability certifications or accreditations. These provide independent evidence of environmental and sustainability practices.

Certifications to look out for in the UK include:

Green Key is a leading standard of excellence in the field of environmental responsibility and sustainable operation within the tourism industry. This prestigious certificate represents a commitment by businesses that their tourism establishments adhere to strict criteria.
Green Tourism is a sustainability certification widely used across the UK tourism and hospitality sector. Businesses are independently assessed against sustainability criteria and can achieve Bronze, Silver or Gold certification.
ISO 14001 is the global standard for environmental management systems (EMS), helping organisations reduce their environmental impact, comply with regulations, and improve sustainability. It provides a framework for managing resources, waste, and performance while engaging stakeholders in environmental commitments.
