Corporate social responsibility
The Adelaide Convention Centre takes corporate social responsibility very seriously.
We act in the best interest of our clients, the community and the environment. We take responsibility for our actions, knowing they are fair and honest and will stand up to any scrutiny.
Since mid 2008 the Centre has been rewarded with several local and international awards in recognition of our efforts – not just for our environmental efforts but also for our overall care for the community.
- Winner AIPC Innovation Award
- Winner MEA Award for Corporate Social Responsibility
- Silver Qantas Award for Excellence in Sustainable Tourism
- Variety International Corporate Award (presented in London)
