Our main initiatives:
Energy
The venue implements energy-saving measures by using only green electricity and reducing unnecessary energy consumption. Energy use is carefully controlled through the management of lighting, heating, and ventilation, as well as heating and air conditioning (HVAC). In addition, the facility is equipped with LED lighting to further conserve energy.
Travel & accommodation
Shipping & logistics
The Easyfairs booth packages reduce transport emissions and waste, and we select our suppliers based on sustainability criteria. We apply these criteria in our contracts and base our choice of suppliers on their sustainability efforts within transportation.
Production & waste
We implement a strict waste management and reduction plan and limit plastic use at our events. All waste generated is carefully sorted, and we use reusable floor tiles during our events. In addition, our Smart Badge technology enables a significant reduction in paper usage for our exhibitors.
Food & food waste
We apply sustainable food supply principles at our catering outlets, reduce food waste, and donate surplus food to charity. We encourage our suppliers to use portion control to minimize waste, offer vegetarian and vegan options, and do not serve red meat in our lunch restaurants.
Social responsibility
We strive to be an inclusive team that embraces diversity and provides equal opportunities for everyone, while embedding sustainability at the core of our events. Our event seminar programs focus on sustainability topics, and we offer a platform for startups to showcase their groundbreaking innovations.
Exhibitors
Here are some practical tips on how to make your participation more sustainable:
Stand design & waste
Choose a reusable booth package from the organizer or design your own booth so that the structure can be reused year after year. Work with your booth builder to make your booth as sustainable as possible! Avoid creating a single-use stand for just one event. Create reusable signage (without dates) made from recyclable materials and, whenever possible, use eco-friendly ink. Use LED lighting and other energy-efficient equipment for your booth, and remember to switch it off at the end of the day. Try to avoid using carpet, and if it’s necessary, opt for reusable carpet tiles. If you use standard carpet, ensure it is recyclable and will actually be recycled.
Travel & accommodation
Whenever possible, choose public transportation or carpool with your colleagues. Select a hotel within walking distance and/or one that follows eco-friendly practices.
Logistics & transportation
Consolidate your shipments and, whenever possible, use transport and logistics companies that follow sustainable practices. Favor local suppliers to support the local economy and reduce transportation. Prioritize suppliers with strong environmental and social credentials.
Food & food waste
Bring your own reusable water bottle and use our water stations to help reduce single-use plastic. If you serve food at your booth, opt for locally sourced and plant-based options whenever possible, and avoid using single-use plastics. Minimize food waste by ordering only the amount of food you need.
Social responsibility
Take an active role in the various initiatives and discussions during the event that support sustainable development within your sector. Inspire visitors by showcasing the sustainable features of your products.
