At Excel London understanding the impact we have on our community and environment are key drivers for the way we operate. We are proud of the work we have done to reduce our negative impacts and make a proactive contribution to improve the way we work, and interact, with the wider community, both of Newham and the events industry. As part of this our aim is to support our organisers in their mission to deliver more sustainable events.
An important part of this involves supporting our local community. Newham, the London Borough in which we are located, is one of the most deprived areas in London, but also one of the fastest-growing, youngest and most diverse boroughs in the capital. We work close with Newham Council and a network of local charities, schools/universities and other organisations to support the work they do in building greater opportunities for its population.
Newham Council is working hard to ensure children achieve good educational outcomes, get good jobs and feel secure about their futures, and to provide genuinely affordable housing for its residents.
Events have the power to connect and bring people together. It is our ambition that the events industry becomes a significant platform for positive social impact. If you are looking to effect change with your event, whether that be a one-off activity or a project that leaves a legacy, the Excel London team are here to help you achieve your vision.
If you are keen to make an impact but don’t know where to start, we can support you with ideas and making connections.
