FIA 3* Environmental Accredited venue: the highest possible award from the FIA
Reflecting BIC’s historic and ongoing efforts across all areas of Sustainability, in November 2024 BIC was awarded a 3* Environmental Accreditation by the FIA. The top 3* accreditation is awarded to organisations that demonstrate best practice and commitment and seek continual improvement through the implementation of an environmental management system.
The award follows a detailed application and auditing process where BIC was evaluated across several areas including commitment from senior leadership towards environmental management, clearly defined environmental objectives, auditing and measurement across areas including energy, water and waste management, transport and logistics, biodiversity and carbon emissions.
