The MCC is extremely conscious of its social and community responsibility with regards to the way it operates the MCG and its other venues.
Water conservation and waste management, in particular, are issues that the MCC is working hard with stakeholders and experts to ensure the club remains a socially responsible stadium manager.
Environmental initiatives include the installation of timer controlled taps in the public toilets of the Great Southern Stand and the introduction of hand dryers to reduce paper towel waste.
The club is also an active participant in the Closed Loop recycling program.
Lighting and air conditioning are controlled via a building management system at the ground and therefore can be controlled to be only on when required.
Other environmental initiatives being looked at are energy efficient fittings and plant for heating, ventilation and cooling and electrical and hydraulic services, revised sports lighting to reduce light spill and the use of natural ventilation and daylight.
