Sustainability

What is sustainability at Meeting, Event, and Conference Services?

Guided by MECS’ Sustainable Meeting & Event Policy, the department has embedded best practices in its operation to continually improve its sustainability performance. Currently, MECS has implemented and embedded the following sustainability initiatives in its operations:

• Fair Trade campus designation and products

• SFU’s Zero-waste Initiative helping to divert waste and resources from landfill

• SFU’s Sustainable Spaces certification program helping build processes for more robust and efficient events on campus

• SFU’s Re-use For Good initiative aiming to reduce single-use products while introducing their reusable alternatives
