IACC’s Social Impact Initiative
Everyone’s Voice Matters
IACC and our global membership community are committed to delivering meaningful social change.
We’re seeing more and more people expect businesses to act with purpose and not just to pay lip-service to the importance, but to implement policies and programs that actually make sense with their business and drive real change.
Buyers and business event attendees are smart. They can immediately see if there’s artifice beneath the work a venue is doing and are more vocal than ever in exposing that artifice. IACC venues approach social impact with a deep sense of our unique perspective and value to the issues we care about.
IACC will create opportunity and take responsibility to improve our efficiency, reputation, legacy and environmental impact through our social practices, through three main pillars of focus, People, Community and Environment.
Every IACC member wishing to embrace Diversity, Equality and Inclusion (DE&I), will be offered pathways to information through IACC’s Knowledge Hub and education at IACC online and live events. The Better Tomorrow Foundation, funded by IACC venues, will support individuals and groups to grow and make a difference.
