We donate food

Gallagher Convention Centre prioritises food safety. After an event, the food is assessed, and when the food is deemed to still be safe for consumption, according to all the relevant standards, our food is donated to charities in our area.

We Recycle

Our sustainable practices have garnered impressive statistics from Don’t Waste over the period 1 October 2023 to the end of October 2024, and we are proud to share them. 99,8% recycled items with only 0,2% waste. In this period, our recycling ads up to 201 trees saved, 308 428 Liters of water saved, 154 417 kWh of electricity saved & 28 544 of Carbon Dioxide saved. Gallagher saved so many trees with our care for the environment that it equals the acres of 1.27 Tropical forests.

We save energy

Our venues are fitted with energy-saving lights to minimise the environmental impact. The CO2 we saved in one year is equivalent to the CO2 emissions of almost 4 households. Gallagher Convention Centre makes use of solar power.

Environmentally friendly cooling

The exhibition Halls use evaporative cooling ventilation systems, which use much less electricity than conventional direct expansion refrigerant-based systems. There is no risk of Ozone depletion or Global warming from refrigerant loss.

We have boreholes

The decorative water features are supplied with borehole water to eliminate demand from Municipal Supply. You can fill 5.24 swimming pools with the water Gallagher saved in one year.
