The achievement highlights the portfolio’s growing commitment to independently verified environmental and sustainability standards across the UK events and hospitality sector.
Platinum Recognition for The Kia Oval and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Among the standout performers, The Kia Oval and Tottenham Hotspur Stadium received the prestigious Platinum ECOsmart certification, recognising their exceptional achievements across environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria.
The Platinum status reflects the venues’ dedication to sustainable operations, responsible resource management, and continuous improvement in environmental performance.
Multiple Venues Secure Gold ECOsmart Certification

These achievements reflect Lime Venue Portfolio’s broader commitment to measurable sustainability progress and continuous environmental improvement across its network.
The certifications provide evidence that member venues are actively working towards reducing their environmental impact while adopting industry best practices.
Partnership with Greengage Drives Independent Sustainability Verification
The latest achievements build upon Lime Venue Portfolio’s strategic partnership with Greengage, announced earlier this year. The collaboration was established to help venues benchmark their sustainability performance, identify opportunities for improvement, and provide event organisers with transparent and independently verified sustainability credentials.
By using recognised assessment standards, venues can demonstrate genuine progress while offering greater accountability to clients and stakeholders.
Greater Confidence for Event Organisers
As sustainability becomes an increasingly important factor in venue selection, independently verified ECOsmart certifications offer valuable reassurance for event planners and organisers.
The certifications ensure that sustainability claims are supported by measurable evidence and third-party assessment, enabling organisations to make informed decisions when planning environmentally responsible events.

Commenting on the achievement, Jo Austin, Sales Director at Lime Venue Portfolio, said the certifications reflect the extensive sustainability work taking place across the portfolio.
She noted that sustainability has remained a long-term priority for member venues and expressed pride in seeing venues recognised across Platinum, Gold, and Silver levels. Austin also highlighted the partnership with Greengage as an important initiative for benchmarking progress, sharing best practices, and increasing transparency for event organisers.
