How our venues are reducing their carbon footprint

We’re installing more EV charging stations and bicycle parking at our venues and offices. We now count +70 charging stations installed at Flanders Expo, Antwerp Expo, Gorinchem and Hardenberg.

We encourage attendees to travel to our events on public or green transport. In 2023, 65% of our events ran active campaigns promoting green transport options
to our attendees. We also outline how their choices impact the environment.

We’re talking to local authorities about introducing new and optimised sustainable transport options at our venues. Especially where there aren’t enough options today.

We only promote hotel partners that have sustainable policies.

We have clear guidelines for sustainable menu options. We endorse low-carbon alternatives while prioritising and encouraging sustainable sourcing. We’re also choosing catering partners who share our commitment to sustainability.

We’re pioneering plant-powered menus, making vegetarian and vegan options available at all our venues’ catering points.

We’re phasing out red meat options across all venues by 2025. 22% of Easyfairs-catered events already have a no-red-meat policy. Our Nordic venues Kistamässan and Malmömassan excluded red meat from their catering offerings in 2023.

We’re aiming for a 50% reduction in food waste by 2030. So, we’ve introduced portion control measures and we’re building partnerships with local charities.

By 2025, we aim to have recyclable or reusable packaging and cutlery at all our in-house catering points. At our venues in The Netherlands and in Sweden, we will reach this target as of January 2024.

Ethical beverage choices are a key part of our commitment to ethical sourcing and consumer choice. Fair trade coffee is now standard across all our venues and offices.
