Taking Steps Towards a Greener Future
At Hanson Wade Group, we're taking our first steps towards a greener future. We're committed to minimizing our conferences' impact on the environment and implementing more sustainable practices in an effort to drive positive change through transparency.
In 2022, we began working with the Sustainability Group, using their FuturePlus framework to both assess our impact and contributions to various aspects of environmental and social agendas and to shape a roadmap of sustainability objectives going forward. We are delighted that our progress has recently been recognised by EcoVadis who have awarded us with a Bronze Medal during a recent assessment, this recognition is awarded to the Top 35% of companies assessed by EcoVadis in the 12 months prior to the medal issue date.
This Year's Commitment to Sustainability
Here's how we're embedding sustainability into the heart of the Xth Event Name Summit.
Digital Agendas
In our effort to move towards a paperless business, we will not be printing physical agendas for this conference.
Instead, the digital agenda will be circulated before the event. We will also be providing QR codes onsite to access it.
New Lanyard Recycling Scheme
Before you leave, please remember to drop your lanyard and badge in the collection box at our check-in desk.
We will then recycle your badges, and ensure your lanyards are re-used at another event.
Reduced-Carbon Menu
We recognise that the food we eat comes with it's own carbon emissions.
To reduce this, we're working with our venue, The Hilton Boston Back Bay, to put together a reduced-carbon menu for this event, consisting of a higher proportion of plant-based items.

Energy-Efficiency
- All guestrooms, public spaces and offices use LED lighting systems.
- Auto-switch lights in low-traffic areas, to turn off and on only when needed.
- All bedding and towels are now cleaned in-house, reducing the emissions associated with shipping this to an external laundrette.
Water-Efficiency
- Low-flush toilets* installed in all guestrooms.
- No linens are used for banquets, saving on water used for cleaning tablecloths.
*"Low-flush" is defined as <1.3 gallons per flush
Reducing Waste
- No paper products are used for banquets or conferences.
All hotel offices use water dispensers, rather than disposable plastic bottles. - All guestrooms contain refillable shower products, as opposed to single-use products.
- Unused and lightly-used bar soap from guestrooms is donated to a charity which cleans and repurposes the soap for homeless shelters.
