Increased competitiveness though sustainability

The New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center （NOCC） states that it has made sustainability a top priority and is taking steps to reduce environmental impacts. While the coronavirus pandemic impacted hosting events in 2020， NOCC took advantage of the downtime and made critical facility upgrades that will reduce their environmental footprint， and in turn， help make the facility a leader in sustainable events.

“As one of the top convention centre facilities in the nation， it is crucial that we meet and exceed national standards when it comes to sustainability and environmental impact，” said Michael J. Sawaya， president of the convention centre. “Nowadays， sustainability and eco-friendly practices are significant when it comes to booking future meetings and events， and this goes far beyond ‘just recycling. “
