SUSTAINABILITYIN INFORMA MARKETS
Our event is part of Informa Markets and the Informa Group. Sustainability at Informa focuses on the long term impacts we haveon customers, colleagues, the communities we work in and theenvironment.
Many of our stakeholders are clearly telling us that sustainability(social, economic and environmental) is something that is no longera nice to have but a necessary part of any event. We want tomake sure we’re meeting those expectations and we believe thatbeing sustainable is the right thing to do.
We also recognise that it’s not just about the way we produce ourevents and products but recognizing that we have a role to play inproviding a space to work in partnership together with our marketsto inspire the sustainable development of the industries we serve. This is an ongoing process for us and we’re looking for ideasof how we can improve.
