Sustainability

Our commitment to sustainability and net zero

At Flame, we are committed to running events which are both environmentally sustainable and socially responsible.

From building an agenda which helps pave the way to the sustainable energy supply to ensuring we reduce our own waste we have embedded sustainability into everything we do. Find out how we are reducing our carbon footprint and supporting sustainable development with carbon credits for the carbon impact we cannot yet avoid.

Running a sustainable event

Sustainability initiatives in 2026!

Event app

We have removed paper waste with the event mobile app.

All attendees will receive login details prior to the event to access the digital agenda, attendee list, and in event announcements.

Locally sourced food

We have worked with the hotel to ensure attendees will receive a range of healthy and nutritious meals.

We have reduced our carbon footprint by choosing food which is both seasonable and locally sourced, and includes vegan and vegetarian options.

Name badges

Paper only name badges without plastic holders will be provided at the event.

Renewable energy

As part of our continued commitment to sustainability the event's electricity sources have been switched to renewable sources thereby significantly reducing the event's carbon footprint.

Agenda

Flame is a meeting forum for the gas and LNG sector to ensure consistent supply of energy whilst also decarbonising the energy system.

The conference agenda covers the solutions, strategies and technology to make net zero achievable for our world.

How are we building a sustainable event?

We believe a sustainable event focuses on three main aims...

Social responsibility

We want Flame 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

Flame 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 Flame 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..
