Sustainability
Sailing towards a greener future...
For each and every event held onboard Oceandiva London, we will be able to leverage technology to help us track and measure the carbon impact of the entire event. Working with industry body isla, we will be able to determine where any carbon emission reductions can be made across the lifecycle of an event; from sourcing, energy used, food and beverage choices to audience travel and everything else in between. By measuring our carbon emissions, per event and on an annual basis, we are able to balance them through tree-planting and the purchase of carbon units via the Woodland Carbon Code (WCC) and the funding of projects certified by Verified Carbon Standard (VCS). We are committed to creating a more sustainable future today.

We focus on seasonality and sustainability and where possible buy food that has been produced in the UK.
