We focus on practical, measurable actions across all areas of the event, from planning and production to on-site delivery.
Our sustainability efforts are guided by three key principles:
- Reducing waste
- Improving resource efficiency
- Supporting responsible suppliers and partners
We are actively working to minimise waste generated at the event by:
- Reducing printed materials and encouraging digital alternatives such as the event app
- Working with contractors to limit single-use items
- Promoting reusable and recyclable materials across exhibitor stands
Digital-first experience
To reduce our environmental footprint, we prioritise digital solutions:
- Event app for schedules, floor maps and networking
- Digital marketing and communications
- Reduced reliance on printed guides and brochures
Our venue
The NEC Birmingham is committed to sustainability and plays a key role in supporting our efforts. From waste management systems to energy efficiency initiatives, the venue helps us deliver a more sustainable event experience.
