Championing Sustainability
We know sustainability is important to our attendees and exhibitors, as well as to our community as a whole. Not only are we committed to running our event in an environmentally and socially responsible way, we also want to go further and inspire the sustainable development of the industry we serve.
How Are We Building a Sustainable Event?
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
We want MADS to be run in a socially responsible manner. To do so, we are focusing on:
- Doing business safely and ethically
- Considering wellbeing and accessibility
- Creating a positive impact on our host cities and measuring our impacts
- Supporting sponsors and partners in donating to local and industry-related charities
ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY
The event will be run in an increasingly environmentally responsible manner, focusing on:
- Reducing carbon emissions
- Creating less waste and discouraging giveaways from exhibitors
- Considering sustainability credentials for every item sourced for the event
- Powering MADS by renewable electricity, helping us in our journey towards Net Zero
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Our aim is to promote long-term sustainable development – in the way that we run the event but also in how it’s implemented in the market as a whole. We are committing to:
- Using our content to support the sustainability of the community we serve
- Facilitating discussions on pertinent topics including diversity & inclusion, gender balance, sustainability trends, the impact on the environment & more…
