Championing Sustainability at BioProcess International
At BPI, we’re committed to making a positive impact that goes beyond the event itself. Alongside the waste and emission reduction initiatives outlined on this page, we’re proud to invest in high-quality climate projects that accelerate emissions reductions and uplift communities outside the event’s value chain. These efforts allow us to address emissions in areas where we’re still working to improve, such as exhibitor logistics and attendee travel. By supporting these projects, we’re taking meaningful steps toward a more sustainable future.
How are we building a sustainable event?
We believe a sustainable event focuses on three main aims...
Social responsibility
We want BPI 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
BPI will be run in an increasingly environmentally responsible manner, focusing on:
- Reducing carbon emissions
- Designing our events to eliminate waste
- Considering sustainability credentials for every item sourced for the event
Sustainable development
Our aim is for BPI 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 bioprocessing industry
- Developing close partnerships with relevant charities, companies and associations and giving them a platform to promote their work in the field
- Facilitating discussions on pertinent topics including diversity & inclusion, gender balance, sustainability trends, the impact on the environment & more.
Sustainability at BioProcess International
We are committed to BioProcess International having a positive impact on people and planet. We want to play a key role in helping the Life Sciences Industries improve its own sustainability by connecting people with the networks and knowledge they need to help solve the big challenges of the future.
We are proud to deliver you a sustainable event by launching several new initiatives noted below.
Digital Event Agenda
In lieu of distributing a printed agenda, we will deliver an environmentally-friendly digital agenda through our ConnectMe app
Lanyards & Name Tags
We will be using a TerraCycle Zero Waste Box to recycle used lanyards and nametags after the event.
Diversity & Inclusion
At BioProcess International, we want everyone to feel like they belong and for our communities to feel inspired and benefit from the diverse identities, innovation and ideas we showcase.
Renewable Energy
As a part of our continued commitment to the sustainability of this conference, we have switched to 100% renewable electricity for our event. This makes our electricity usage carbon neutral and significantly reduces the carbon footprint of our event
Our ‘Better Stands’ Approach
Through our commitment to the evolution of the exhibitions industry, we aim to ensure that we are delivering the best possible experience for our customers. We believe that by moving away from the use of disposable exhibition booths we will improve the ease, quality, safety and sustainability of the exhibitor experience at our events. We aim to further minimize exhibition waste by removing carpet in our aisles, using digital signage options as much as possible or using eco cardboard. Finally, encouraging our exhibitors to minimize handouts by utilizing our digital download QR code technology at their booths.
Wellbeing
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can make a huge difference to your wellbeing and physical and mental performance, whether in the office, at home or at an event. At BioProcess International, we have incorporated wellbeing activities into the agenda including an attendee run/walk as well as yoga.
Media, Association & Community Partners
At BioProcess International (BPI), we believe in the power of collaboration to drive innovation and inclusivity. By fostering meaningful partnerships with community organizations, academic institutions, and industry leaders, BPI creates opportunities to connect with new and underserved audiences. Our approach is rooted in sustainability and community engagement, ensuring that every voice is heard and every perspective is valued.
