Make Your Visit Greener

At ACC Liverpool, we want to make sure you have the best time at any event you attend here. But, we also want to promote green tourism and sustainable visits. 

So, if you’re attending an event or conference at ACC Liverpool and would like to make sure your visit is as green and sustainable as possible, here are some suggestions of how to be a greener tourist.

Use public transport where possible

ACC Liverpool is well connected in terms of transport links. We are only a five minute walk from Liverpool One Bus Station, and a 15 minute walk from Liverpool Lime Street Station – which facilitates train connections from most UK cities.

Consider carsharing or using an electric vehicle

If you have to travel by car, why not see if you can share your journey with a friend or colleague? Car sharing is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint and save on petrol costs at the same time. 

Alternatively, electric vehicles are ideal for green tourism. To promote these greener alternatives, we also have numerous electric vehicle charging points in our onsite car park that you can use - one on each floor!

Recycle, recycle, recycle!

Recycling is an essential element of ensuring you have a greener visit to our venue. To help us out, please use our recycling bins situated around the venue. 

Green information tips: if you can't spot one of our recycling bins, feel free to ask one of our stewards – they will be able to direct you to the closest one.

Go paperless

Technology is amazing, and you can have all the information you need for your visit. To make your visit greener, avoid printing out your itinerary or any other information you would usually take along to an event. 

Green information tips: Why not bring your laptop or tablet instead for everything you need? Our Wi-Fi is great!

Try our vegetarian and vegan catering options

Studies show that vegan and vegetarian diets tend to have far lower carbon, water and ecological footprints than those of meat. So, why not treat yourself and switch out your usual meat option for one of our delicious vegan or vegetarian meals?

Use our water fountains

At ACC Liverpool, we have a number of water fountains placed around the venue. Not only is using a water bottle better for the environment, but it will also save you money! 

Green information tips: bring along an empty water bottle or flask and use our water fountains to refill throughout the day.

Support our local businesses

When you come for an event at ACC Liverpool, don’t limit your visit to just us!

If you have any free time, you should definitely visit the vast range of independent businesses and eateries here in Liverpool. Shopping, and eating, independent is a fantastic way to support green tourism – not only will you discover some real gems, but you'll also be supporting our local economy and community.

We have some great discounts available for delegates attending events at ACC Liverpool, or you can check the Independent Liverpool website for loads of local businesses to support.

Travel on foot

One of the best things about Liverpool is that it’s a compact and walkable city. So, once you're here, you can easily access all of our major attractions without having to step foot on public transport if you don’t want to.

Go from the heart of Liverpool One to the Albert Docks, and take a stroll along our beautiful waterfront and enjoy unbeatable views of The Three Graces.
