LCP – FARR

Foundation for Alcohol Related Research (FARR)

FARR is dedicated to building positive futures in South African communities by significantly reducing birth defects caused by alcohol consumption during pregnancy.

Their mission:

FARR is committed to improving the lives of all South Africans by increasing the awareness of Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), which is caused by alcohol consumption during pregnancy.

What they do

Through their pioneering research, FARR has become the leading non-governmental organisation (NGO) in South Africa in the fight against FASD. This disorder is completely preventable but not curable and, unfortunately, South Africa has the highest reported FASD prevalence rate in the world. FARR is working hard to change this.

Their projects

Implementing impactful community interventions, driving social awareness programmes, conducting world-class research and offering extensive diagnosis, management, support, training, educational and mentorship services.

Partnership with the CTICC

As a convention centre that serves alcohol, the CTICC believes it has a duty to promote the responsible consumption thereof. Our partnership with FARR has been invaluable, as it demonstrates the CTICC’s support for alcohol-related research, as well as the centre’s commitment to spreading awareness about alcohol usage and abuse and its far-reaching consequences.

The CTICC is honoured to have supported FARR in their important work over the last nine years. We have made them our long-term partner and will be assisting them with the venue sponsorship of their AGMs into the future.

CTICC wins big at the AIPC awards in Antwerp, Belgium

The award comes after the cente’s Chief Executive Officer, Julie-May Ellingson, made a compelling case during her presentation to AIPC delegates and committee members as to why the CTICC’s innovation should be awarded this prestigious prize.

The accolade recognised the CTICC’s efforts in reducing its water usage and its water saving initiatives including partnering with local community partners and the installation of a reverse osmosis plant. The reverse osmosis plant extracts sea and ground water for purification through a filtration system that removes salt and contaminants. This process produces 200 000 litres of potable water in a 24-hour cycle and more than meets the CTICC’s requirements.

The prize recognises “innovations and creative thinking in all areas of centre management, marketing and operations”.

“We are extremely proud and humbled to have won this award. We have made great strides in our efforts to reduce our water usage through various initiatives in and around our buildings, with our clients, staff and local community partners. In particular, our decision to install a reverse osmosis plant came after vigorous research into what would be the most feasible way to not only save water but to place some relief on the municipal water supply. Being able to minimise our water usage together with the installation of the reverse osmosis plant is a major accomplishment for us and this award it testament to that,” said Ellingson.

The CTICC was up against stiff competition from conference and events centres around the world including Sydney International Convention Centre, Adelaide International Convention Centre, Suntec Convention & Exhibition Centre in Singapore, Tampere Hall Congress and Concert Centre in Finland, Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Centre in United Arab Emirates, and the EXPOFORUM Convention and Exhibition Centre in Russia.

AIPC President, Aloysius Arlando, congratulated the CTICC on winning the award and recognised the centre’s sustainability efforts.

“AIPC members are all working hard to demonstrate adaptive responses to their clients and communities, so delegates to our 2019 conference in Antwerp recognised the importance of CTICC’s sustainable solution to the recent drought challenge in Cape Town and voted them our 2019 Delegate Choice Award for Innovation. A great way of turning a challenge into a positive statement about their adaptive thinking abilities,” said Arlando.

“Back home we have just learnt about the Innovation Award that was bestowed on the CTICC at the AIPC annual conference in recognition of its continued efforts and initiatives around water and water management. The Board congratulates the CEO and her team for scooping this prestigious award. We are very proud of this great industry recognition for a job well done by our team in driving innovation, sustainability and a model around the management of scarce resources, a model no doubt that can and will be adopted by other industry players facing similar challenges and constraints,” said Cloete.
