Sustainability - St. Charles Convention Center

Our goal is to offer outstanding quality of service and mitigate the impact on the natural environment.

Programming our escalators, HVAC, and lights based on our client’s schedules to conserve energy.
Reducing the amount of energy wasted through the use of motion sensor lights, sinks, and toilets.
Supplying each meeting room with a five-gallon water cooler to reduce the use of bottled water consumption.
A single-stream recycling program and a back-of-house composting program – both contribute greatly to our waste and diversion goals.
Nearly all cleaning agents and materials used at the facility are environmentally friendly.
Using only low-energy lighting where it’s most effective when skylights and ambient lighting aren’t enough.
Providing options to conserve paper products: paperless billing, online exhibitor services ordering, recycle bins inside meeting rooms, and using dry erase boards instead of flip charts.
Water pitchers and glassware are provided in our “conference package”, eliminating the use of plastic bottles.
The St. Charles Convention Center has locally produced organic food menu options available.
