The accolade acknowledges ICC Sydney’s comprehensive strategy, which integrates state-of-the-art facilities, advanced technological services, and agile, expert support. The center’s emphasis on sustainable and locally-sourced dining options, along with its commitment to community engagement and social responsibility, played a crucial role in its recognition.
Geoff Donaghy, CEO of ICC Sydney and Group Director – Convention Centres, ASM Global (APAC), praised the commitment and innovation of the people behind the accolades remarking: “To be honoured with this prestigious award for our world class services reflects not only the quality of the venue’s unique infrastructure, but also the industry benchmark we have set for event delivery.
“This achievement would not be possible without the consistent dedication and ingenuity of our highly skilled team members who are committed to delivering exemplary events – all while making a difference to our local community.
“Corporate Social Responsibility is core to ICC Sydney’s business management framework, values and culture. This award is a welcome testament of the way our team delivers on initiatives that contribute toward a global agenda for building sustainable cities and communities.
“Underpinned by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, I’m incredibly proud of our Corporate Social Responsibility Plan that ensures our team prioritises efforts in areas where we can have the most significant environmental impact – particularly through waste and energy reduction; and by engaging clients with our Legacy Program, which presents opportunities to make meaningful contributions to society through the pillars of Environmental Sustainability, First Nations, Inclusion and Belonging, Innovators and Entrepreneurs and Creative Industries,” Mr Donaghy said.
Further distinguishing ICC Sydney are its initiatives geared towards creating an inclusive environment. These include accessible facilities, diverse and inclusive practices, and a strong focus on environmental sustainability. Such efforts have not only elevated its status in the event industry but also set a benchmark for others to follow, reflecting its leadership and innovative approach in hosting global events.
