Making this event more sustainable
We believe we have a responsibly to be more sustainable across our organisation and this means making positive changes to the way we run our events. This event will be delivered to the highest quality whilst we also ensure they reduce our environmental impact.
Here is a summary of some of the steps we are taking to do this:
- All lanyards and badges we provide to attendees will be sustainable
- Reducing our event printing – we have already started this by no longer printing our event guides. We’re making sure all necessary information is available digitally on our new website
- Where printing is necessary, sustainable and recyclable materials will be used as much as possible
- Catering will be responsibly sourced and in recyclable packaging
- Water coolers will be provided so delegates can refill their own reusable bottles
- Ensuring our suppliers are using recyclable materials where possible
- All CIH staff will aim to minimise carbon footprint for each journey, and we will encourage our delegates, exhibitors and sponsors to do the same.
