Environmental Sustainability – Water

Environmental Sustainability Water

To date, the CTICC’s water supply has been provided by the City of Cape Town. During the 2021/22 financial year, the CTICC used a total of 12 320.6 kilolitres of water, an increase of 26.2% compared to the previous reporting period.

The increase in water usage was due to an uptake in events after lockdown restrictions were removed.

Our Water Saving Initiatives

• The CTICC continues to implement a range of water-saving measures across all its departments and services. These include:
• Maximising the use of rainwater storage tanks, which capture up to 265 000 litres of water at a time, which is then used for irrigation of indoor plants, cleaning and, in the winter months, providing water to the cooling towers of the central air-conditioning system.
• Collecting the condensate from the air-conditioning units: about 20 000 litres of water are collected every week and are used for cleaning purposes at the centre.
• Limiting washing machine use by not using tablecloths and offering disposable napkins and biodegradable cups in our coffee shops, as well as providing our clients with the option to use these sorts of utensils at their events.
• Reducing water usage by installing aerators in all taps in the kitchens, staff showers and meeting suites.
• Supervising the water use of exhibitors and, in particular, plumbing orders: for example, sand or seawater has replaced freshwater in ballast operations at outside exhibitions.

Our Reverse Osmosis Plant

All of the water we use, including in the kitchens and drinkable water from the taps, is from the reverse osmosis plant, which has a 15-year lifespan.

The significant saving was realised because of the implementation of the reverse osmosis (RO) plant, which converts groundwater to potable water. 

Installed to cater fully for all our daily water consumption needs, it can produce 200 000 litres of potable drinking water in a 24-hour cycle and has a tank storage capacity of 400 000 litres, to accommodate for maximum demand scenarios. 

In addition, much of the complex was also in lockdown for most of the third and the entire fourth quarter of the year in review.  There was a spike in usage when the Hospital of Hope was set up in CTICC 1 in June 2020, overall, the water usage trend is down due to the RO plant.

Sustainability Statement

Sustainability Statement

We continuously strive to find innovative ways to mitigate our impact on the environment while advancing people and providing them with new opportunities to grow. As such we are actively aligned to and base our operations on the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) principles, contained in the UN sustainability goals for the year 2030, which facilities our triple bottom line approach to sustainable business; People, Planet & Profit.

Nurture Our World

As sustainability is both a moral obligation and a strategic imperative, the CTICC places great importance on integrating economic, social, and environmental sustainability into every aspect of its operations.

Driving our triple bottom line sustainability objectives is our Nurture Our World (NOW) committee, which has implemented various practices and raised awareness around sustainability.

We established our NOW initiative in 2009. Initially set up as a way to transform commitment into practical action, NOW quickly evolved into a central component of our sustainability strategy. The NOW team, comprising representatives from all areas of the business, work together to ensure that sustainability stays at the centre of every aspect of our business.

Through this continued commitment, our positive impact extends to assisting clients green their own events. All initiatives are spearheaded by the NOW team, which is complemented by a dedicated CTICC Sustainability Officer, connect with us by emailing now@cticc.wowfingers.com.
