Sustainability - industry events
We continue to be committed to reducing waste at our face-to-face events. Some of the ways we delivered more sustainable industry events included:
- Limiting the number of giveaways we provide, and where giveaways are provided, responsibly sourcing products that can be recycled and/or are reusable
- Discouraging the distribution of printed collateral by providing digital platforms to share information with and between delegates
- Using digital signage in preference to printed signage wherever possible
- Not permitting the sale or give-away of plastic water bottles on the trade show floor at our events
- Using crockery or biodegradable plates, cutlery, and coffee cups
- Reducing cost and waste associated with catering – our Industry Events team regularly collects data as part of event feedback processes to more accurately forecast catering requirements for future events
- Leveraging venue partnerships with organisations such as Oz Harvest to minimise food waste
- Recycling general event waste where possible.
