ACT FOR THE FUTURE
By Easyfairs
As part of the Easyfairs Group, we are members of the Net Zero Carbon Events commitment and are committed to achieving net zero by 2050 and to halving our greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
Easyfairs is committed to running our events in an environmentally and socially responsible manner by:
- Reducing our environmental impact
- Supporting our communities in their transition to a sustainable economy
- Promoting innovation
- Embracing diversity and inclusion in all its dimensions
- We carry out environmental certification in accordance with the Swedish Environmental Base (Svensk Miljöbas).
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, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. In addition, the facility is equipped with LED lighting to further reduce energy consumption.
Travel & Accommodation
Easyfairs reduces travel-related emissions by selecting preferred accommodation partners based on sustainability criteria. The venue offers bicycle parking and nearby electric vehicle charging stations. We encourage carpooling to the event and recommend the use of public transport to further reduce environmental impact.
Shipping & Logistics
Easyfairs’ stand 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 practices in transportation.
Production & Waste
We implement a strict waste management and reduction plan and limit plastic use at our events. 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 consumption for our exhibitors.
Food & Food Waste
We apply sustainable food sourcing 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 all, while embedding sustainability at the core of our events. Our event seminar programs focus on sustainability topics, and we provide 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 stand package from the organizer or design your own stand so that the structure can be reused multiple times, year after year. Work with your stand builder to make your stand as sustainable as possible! Avoid creating a single-use stand for just one event. Create reusable signage (without any dates) made from recyclable materials and using eco-friendly ink whenever possible. Use LED lighting and other energy-efficient equipment for your stand, and remember to switch it off at the end of the day. Try to avoid using carpet, and if you really need it, preferably choose reusable floor tiles. If you use regular carpet, make sure it is recyclable and will actually be recycled.
Travel & Accommodation
Whenever possible, choose public transport or carpool with your colleagues. Select a hotel within walking distance and/or one that applies eco-friendly practices.
Logistics & Transport
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 that demonstrate strong environmental and social credentials.
Food & Food Waste
Bring your own reusable water bottle and use our water stations to help us reduce single-use plastic. If you serve food at your stand, preferably choose locally produced and plant-based options and avoid 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.
