At the Mountain America Exposition Center, we are dedicated to creating a sustainable future. Establishing a Sustainability department in 2017 consolidated sustainability efforts with measurable results.
Sustainability focus areas include:
Events Industry Council Sustainable Event Standards (EIC SES) Certification:
Our 2023 goal is to maintain the current certification levels: Bronze for the Expo Center, and Silver for Encore and Sodexo Live.
By 2026, our target is to upgrade the Expo Center's certification to Silver, and maintain Silver for Encore and Sodexo Live.
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Tracking:
The Expo Center will start tracking greenhouse gas emissions for scopes one and two in 2024.
The ultimate goal is to track all three scopes of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
Landfill Diversion:
Our top priority is diverting waste from landfills through principles of reducing, reusing, repurposing, and recycling in collaboration with community partners.
By 2030, we aim to achieve a 70% landfill diversion rate by volume for the Expo Center.
At the Mountain America Expo Center, we remain committed to advancing sustainability practices and making a positive impact on the environment.
