In June attended a webinar, delivered in partnership with the Asia Food and Feed Insect Association, to promote insects such as the black soldier fly as a source of ingredients for animal feed and human consumption.
Insects are a sustainable source of protein with a much smaller environmental impact than traditional sources of protein.
E The challenge is stark: every sector of the global economy needs to transform to achieve net zero emissions by and avoid global warming of above 1.5°C.
Climate technology – which includes renewable energy, innovations in food and farming, green mobility, and finance – is central to achieving this goal.
Alongside reading and sharing critical research on topics such as green infrastructure, climate policy, and environmental education, we also hosted a free online event during the month of COP.
At our first ClimateTech summit in June watch speakers and panellists discuss topics ranging from the clean energy transition to climate intervention technology.
ClimateTech connects those with potential solutions to climate change, from nuclear energy and cell-based foods, to investors hungry to be part of scaling these solutions.
It is an informative resource for researchers, customers, and colleagues and it builds on the work we’ve already achieved through our SDG:Online platform over the last two years.
To ensure we’re also practicing what we preach, we’re actively working to minimise our own carbon footprint as discussed earlier in this report.
I am so proud of the level of commitment and interest in diversity & inclusion (D&I) from my Informa Connect colleagues, especially over the past 18 months.
This led to the launch of a series of initiatives to support colleagues, drive more diverse content and build a stronger business, accompanied by communications to educate and train our colleagues on how to support diversity internally and among our products.
At Informa, we’ve calculated the impacts of some of our own shows on local economies.
The Australian Water Association (AWA), Australia’s biggest water network, is supporting local Vietnamese communities to restore clean water supplies following storms or other event that affect the local water quality.
At VietWater, we specialise in water supply and treatment innovations.
For the past four years, we’ve been collaborating with AWA, one of our long-time exhibitors, and Vietnamese government agencies to develop clean water projects in Vietnam to provide safe drinking water to remote communities.
We were happy to contribute but I also knew that we could go further and use our expertise and networks throughout the region to connect AWA with others who can deal with the logistical challenges of setting up water treatment and filtration systems in remote areas of Vietnam.
After visiting one installation that removes carcinogenic substances from drinking water, traced from fertilisers used in the area, I was able to see first-hand the impacts of our contributions to the project.
The Loggerhead Marinelife Center promotes the conservation of ocean ecosystems with a special focus on threatened and endangered turtles through research, rehabilitation and educational programmes.
The Centre had planned to expand facilities where veterinarians treat injured sea turtles but needed somewhere to put the turtle tanks during construction as turtles released into the ocean would probably not survive.
When scaled to all Informa events, and our industry at large, this suggests a very significant benefit to our customers, their businesses and the environment from the services provided by our modern marketplaces.
Combined with our other activities to reduce our emissions and waste, this allows exhibitors to align their brands with a more sustainable event.
Many are already working on embedding sustainability inside their content, improving their impacts on the environment and making positive contributions to local communities.
Our close collaboration with the Group Sustainability team is essential and we’ll be adding more resource next year to help us embed sustainability even more broadly and deeply.
For example, on the issue of diversity and inclusion, we’ve created an Inclusive Customer Framework to take the best practices from our brands, such as FanExpo, and embed them into all Informa Connect verticals.
On the environment side, we are working on various options to reduce and then offset an event’s carbon footprint, and also allow attendees to offset their travel when they register to attend an event.
This builds on our existing commitment to source all the venue electricity from renewable sources.
But in using carpet and reduce our waste and carbon emissions from making, shipping and disposing of it.
I was so impressed to see our team, with their last bit of energy at the end of the show, gather food and product donations from exhibitors and take them to Philabundance, an organisation that provides food to more than such as shelters and emergency kitchens.
We also actively encourage NPEE visitors to engage through sustainable options such as recycling and composting onsite, encouraging use of public transport with our new ‘Green Travel Raffle’, which offers prizes to those who travel by train or bus, and offering ‘at cost’ carbon offsets to attendees.
For all lighting specified by Informa to be energy efficient LEDs, and for the venue’s lights and AC to be used efficiently.
For the event to have minimal to no waste generation from areas of the show built by Informa,and for the carpet to be reused or recycled.
During the move-in period, food was provided based on pre-orders to reduce food waste.
GDC Summer 2021 was completely focused on diversity, inclusion and accessibility.
Topics included mental health, diversity in games, LGBTQ+, disability, and neurodiversity.
This included the fully completed data tab, including data from their charity partnerships, their physical waste, and post-show survey.
We recognised our events have an impact on the environment and started to focus on waste reduction, carbon emission offsetting and community empowerment.
We started working to improve the impact our operations have on the environment and on the communities we serve with measures including educational events and purposedriven partnerships, the reduction in our carbon emissions with the use of renewable electricity and the reduction of waste from single use plastics and p...
We used renewable energy during VFE and also launched an audience sustainability feature.
After more than Informa Intelligence, including several years as President of the Pharma Intelligence vertical, Linda opted for a new challenge in early 2021 when she became Informa’s first Chief Diversity and Inclusion (D&I) Officer.
