Championing Sustainability at FEI

Our event guides and agendas are delivered in all-digital formats, significantly reducing use of paper products during the live event. During the live event, we post QR codes throughout the venue for immediate access to the digital agenda on their mobile devices. 

At FEI, we use a TerraCycle Zero-Waste Box to recycle all lanyards and nametags after the event. 

We are committed to the evolution of the exhibitions industry while ensuring that we are delivering the best possible experience for our customers. We believe that by moving away from the use of disposable exhibition booths and similar products, that 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 aisles, using digital signage options as much as possible, and using eco cardboard when necessary. Finally, we encourage our exhibitors to minimize hand outs by utilizing our digital show bag technology. 

In addition to ensuring that our venues use energy-efficient lighting, for the first time at FEI 2023, our event also will be fully powered by Renewable Energy.

We want FEI 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

FEI 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

Our aim is for FEI 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..
