Reducing The Environmental Impact Of Events

  • June 20, 2022
Proud to be Carbon Neutral

Delivering Sustainable Events

At Conference Expo, we work hard to reduce our environmental impact whilst helping organisers deliver sustainable events. By choosing Conference Expo’s prescribed stand package solution, organisers benefit from a supplier that heavily invests in initiatives that reduce our carbon footprint and that of our client’s projects. 

We do this through the consolidation of logistics, re-use of hired stands and accessories, efficient printing techniques and adopting a zero-land fill approach. In addition to our green endeavours, working with WWF and Gold Standard, Conference Expo also sponsors accredited schemes with a dual mandate of reducing carbon emissions whilst fostering sustainable development.

What is Hired?

  • Complete stand framework structure including low wottage LED overhead lighting.
  • All highlighted elements are optional bolt-on accessories that can be hired to upgrade your core stand package. 
  • LED screens used conform to the latest energy saving technology available.

What is Not Hired?

  • All printed graphic elements that ‘skin’ the stand structure such e.g. the back wall and counter face. We reduce the use of all harmful compounds in graphics production by opting for non-solvent based inks when printing.

How Conference Expo Reduces Co2 Emissions

Traditional bring your own pop up event can average 60 van deliveries and collections
From an average of 60 van deliveries and collections, Conference Expo averages 4 van deliveries and collections
A typical large van emits 0.4kg of CO2 per mile. So 56 van movements of 50 miles each way would emit 1120kg Co2!
Conference Expo also helps international sponsors lower their Co2 emissions by eliminating the need to travel with their stand displays

How we further reduce our exhibiting footprint

  • Meet and exceeds ISO 14001 environmental systems and processes
  • 100% electricity sourced from renewable wind and solar energy
  • Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) compliant
  • The use of reusable cardboard instead of bubble wrap in packaging stands
  • Recycling of all available waste streams where possible
  • We manufacture using 95% recycled materials

Proud To Be Carbon Neutral

In addition to our green endeavours and as a way of mitigating our remaining emissions, in January 2019 we began a carbon offsetting scheme enabling us to be carbon neutral. Working with WWF and Gold Standard, Conference Expo from Nimlok have sponsored accredited schemes with a dual mandate of reducing carbon emissions whilst fostering sustainable development.

Darfur Low-Smoke Stoves Initiative

The project provides families in North Darfur with microfinance for energy efficient and clean burning LPG stoves to replace their traditional wood or charcoal ones. These help to reduce the level of indoor smoke and air pollution for the families.

Project impacts:

  • Substantial reduction in greenhouse gasses as each stove avoids 4 tonnes of CO2 per year.
  • 93% of women have more time to work which generate additional income for their families.
  • Slowing the rate of deforestation by replacing biomass with LPG.
  • Empowering women and reducing gender inequality by training women entrepreneurs to deliver the stoves through microfinance schemes.
  • Alleviating poverty by enabling energy savings.

Rwanda Safe Water Access Initiative

This project ensures that a safe and reliable supply of water is available in Rwanda by identifying and rehabilitating broken-down boreholes alongside water sanitation and hygiene training.

Project impacts:

  • Less time and effort spent collecting wood to boil and sanitise water.
  • Reduced incidence of waterborne diseases.
  • Reduced expenditure on wood fuel, leaving money free for other household expenses.
  • Reduced pressed on local wildlife and ecosystems due to reduced deforestation.

Continued Commitment

We are proud to be at the forefront of sustainable events and pledge to continue reducing the impact of great events on our environment.

Conference Expo is a prescribed exhibition stand package available to conference organisers holding events with 5-75 exhibiting sponsors. Our stand packages offer far reaching benefits for organisers and sponsors alike and focus on cost savings, enhanced presentation, integrated technology, convenience, time saving and value.

With a uniform and professional look, open format to encourage networking and a fully project managed service from us, this turnkey solution takes the stress away to let you focus on the most important aspects of organising your event.
