Focusing on our own operations and wrapping up the final year of the action plan, let’s dive into how the event have transitioned and what actions have been made to reduce climate impact, resource consumption and waste creation of our event! ⁠ ⁠ Since launching our action plan, we gradually phased out the use of single-use materials. Starting with a ban on single-use plastic bottles in 2019 and a ban on single-use plastic cutlery in 2020, we now have banned all single-use materials in any part of the event production for brands on the official show schedule and for our own events. ⁠ ⁠ Our zero-waste policy require the commitment of show brands to limit their resource use and to repurpose or recycle any materials used at the shows and is further enabled by signing up for CPHFW’s mandatory trash sorting service. ⁠ ⁠ To reduce our climate impact remains a challenge as we continue to host international guests and the carbon emissions related to their flights are high. ⁠ ⁠ However, we have significantly reduced our carbon footprint in other areas such as 55% reduction in printed materials and in the food and drinks area the average carbon footprint for event guests has been reduced by 77%.⁠ ⁠ Lastly, following our ambition to be an agenda-setting platform, we have embarked in various partnerships and collaborations throughout the years while also producing and hosting multiple knowledge sharing materials and webinars. ⁠ ⁠ Read the full Annual Sustainability Report 2022 in linkin.bio.
