Falls Church, VA, September 16, 2024– CSI DMC is thrilled to announce its recognition as one of only two Destination Management Companies (DMCs) selected for Destination DC’s Sustainability District Program. This esteemed recognition serves as a testament to CSI DMC's exemplary leadership and dedication to sustainability, not only setting a benchmark for excellence in the events industry but solidifying a commitment in the city's ongoing endeavors to foster a more sustainable, inclusive, and responsibly managed environment for its residents, visitors, and event attendees.
The Sustainability District Program is part of Sustainable DC 2.0, a citywide initiative led by Mayor Muriel Bowser to promote environmental stewardship across Washington, DC. The program highlights businesses and destination suppliers who are committed to sustainable action.
"After a recent meeting with Destination DC, we were introduced to their exciting new initiative, the Sustainability District. Noticing the absence of DMCs on the list, we promptly reached out to explore how CSI DMC could contribute to this forward-thinking program. With a strong background and personal passion for sustainability, I am eager for CSI DMC to play an active role in driving meaningful change in Washington, DC, and the surrounding areas. By supporting local vendors, aligning with our clients’ sustainability goals, and collaborating with like-minded organizations, we look forward to making our nation’s capital a more sustainable place to live and visit." - Jordan von Lange Salamone, Account Executive, Washington, DC, CSI DMC
Prior to being recognized, CSI DMC participated in a comprehensive review and collaborative discussion with the DDC team regarding their long-term sustainability initiatives. Continual training, roundtable participation and consistent engagement with Destination DC as well as other partners are required to maintain this prestigious placement.
"It’s particularly fulfilling when we can provide sustainable solutions that support small, diverse, or underrepresented local organizations and individuals in the district. Whether we’re sourcing sustainable, locally crafted gifts, providing entertainers with deep DC roots, or organizing CSR activities that directly benefit the district’s residents, every effort to support our DC community feels truly rewarding." - Amberlee Huggins, Chief Marketing Officer, CSI DMC
