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.
Sustainability initiatives in 2025!

The conference agenda and new Decarbonisation Summit cover 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..
FasterForward to zero
FasterForward is Informa’s approach to sustainability, moving faster to become a zero waste and net zero carbon business.
A series of activities and commitments carried out between 2020-2025 will ensure our events become ever more sustainable, delivering a truly positive impact to the markets we serve. We will also actively help our partners, customers and wider markets to achieve the same.
Our FasterForward commitments include:
- Become carbon neutral across our events by 2025
- Halve the waste generated through our events by 2025
- Embed sustainability inside 100% of our events by 2025
