Broward County Convention Center’s sustainability goal is to ensure a safe and healthy atmosphere for our valued guests. We have successfully implemented several green initiatives throughout our facility, with ongoing efforts to introduce new and innovative programs to conserve and repurpose our resources. 

In accordance with the Center’s LEED Gold certification, we encourage all our meeting planners and exhibition organizers to “think green” during the planning stage and execution of their events.

Protecting the Environment – Reducing waste from the guest experience across our venues​, enhancing facility efficiency through capital investments, and protecting and preserving resources in and around our communities. 
 
Investing in People – Creating an environment of inclusion and gender equity across our organization, growing the diversity of our business partners around the world,​ and enabling opportunities for our current and future workforce.

Composting Program 


Broward County Convention Center has partnered with a local composting provider, Renuable, to responsibly manage organic, plant-based waste generated during meetings and conventions. Over 100,000 pounds of waste have been diverted from the Broward County Convention Center since starting the program in 2023. By diverting organic waste from landfills with Renuable, the Convention Center not only reduces greenhouse gas emissions but also creates valuable compost that enriches soil health and fosters sustainable agriculture. This initiative represents a significant stride towards a more sustainable future for the Convention Center and the Fort Lauderdale area. 

 

Food Bank Donations

Broward County Convention Center participates with FoodRecovery.org, an online platform connecting organization with extra food to communities in need, championing sustainability by diverting edible food away from landfills
