IFEMA Madrid, an organiser of fairs, halls and congresses in Spain, has published its first Sustainable Participation Guides for exhibitors and visitors. The guides contain recommendations following the lifecycle of participation in an event, assisting participants make informed decisions on their sustainable experience and helping them reduce their negative impact on the environment.
The guides offer an analysis of the issues that companies deciding to exhibit at a trade fair may encounter during its lifecycle, and which they can turn into opportunities to collaborate in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Recommendations range from the choice of the appropriate materials for the construction of the stand, the treatment of waste, packaging, and chemical products, to the sustainable management of catering and transport, among many other aspects.
IFEMA MADRID offers these guides openly and encourages them to be applied not only at its own fairs, but at any fair or event, with the aim of turning this initiative into a sector commitment.
