Is it worth it ?
February 24th, 2010
All this blogging all these thousands of words, why. It’s not clear if we are want to be Samuel Pepys or just desperately trying to brown tongue the latter day god of Mr. Google.
What’s even sadder our guru won’t tell us his likes or dislikes, truly a deity? We make offerings (countless hours and billions of words) does he see them, are they worth it, who knows. Cavendish conference venues (Mayfair COnference Centre, Cavendish Conference Centre, One America Square Conference Centre, Hallam Conference Centre, ICO Conference Centre) blog is an example tens of thousands of words, hundreds of hours. A handful of comments makes you feel like you are talking to the abyss, where apparently no-one can hear you scream.

Keep it Local
February 22nd, 2010
Having just spent a week in France I realize how jumbled up our environmental agenda is. On one hand we are seemingly ahead in the gimmick stakes, pencils made from recycled cups etc. On the other we are nowhere when it comes to some of the practicalities, free plastic bags at supermarkets etc. How does this relate to London conference centres and our desire to be London’s greenest venue. One key lesson from the continent is to keep our suppliers as local as possible.

Cavendish Conference Venues move to Smart meters
We are installing smart meters at all our London conference venues for all our electricity supplies. This is part of our ongoing commitment to be as green / sustainable as possible. Smart meters are invaluable; they measure our electricity consumption far more accurately than conventional meters. We use the meter readings to check for electricity leakage and wastage, as such accurate meters will help us achieve our goal of a 20% year on year decline in electricity usage.

Cavendish Conference Venues announce two major Green Initiatives
February 5th, 2010
Cavendish Conference Venues announce two major Green Initiatives.
We have now moved all our electricity supplies from the Megalith that is EDF albeit on a green tariff (Carbon levy exempt) to Ecotricity. The logic is twofold. Firstly we prefer dealing with smaller companies, EDF professes to have somewhere over 100 000 employees, there is just no human face; it is all about systems and processes. Second, EDF produces both clean and dirty electricity, we prefer to buy from a company who are 100% focused on clean electricity, not an organisation with a foot in both camps.
We have moved our food waste recycling from Paper Round another ancient megalith with the customer service to match. To a much smaller organisation with a composting facility 20miles away from us, as opposed to the 100+ miles round trip the disaster calling itself paper round used. The savings in CO2 emissions are clearly fantastic.
