Through our live and data-driven digital services, we cultivate connections, provide meaningful content, and celebrate authenticity. We strive to create a safe and transparent environment where unique perspectives and all ideas can be shared and acknowledged.
We believe in sustainability and continuous learning as it strengthens our people, our products, and our markets. In order to be more, we must do more. Together, we will continue to listen, innovate, and act as a driver of change to build a business that reflects the communities we connect.
HOW ARE WE BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE EVENT?
We believe a sustainable event focuses on three main aspects...
Social Responsibility
We want to run LSX World Congress 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 those impacts
Environmental Responsibility
LSX World Congress 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 for LSX World Congress is to promote long-term sustainable development — not only in the way we run the event, but also for the market in which we operate, committing to:
- Using our content to support the sustainability of the biotech, medtech and healthtech industries
- 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 industry's impact on the environment and more
- Improving access to our events for young companies and the next generation of biotech, medtech and healthtech leaders
Plan a sustainable trip
Follow these tips to minimise the footprint of your trip, give back to the places and communities that you visit and mitigate your impact on the planet.
TRAVEL
Offset your carbon footprint
Consider buying carbon offsets to compensate for unavoidable travel emissions. By doing so, you’ll contribute to projects like forest conservation and clean energy that fight climate change.
Choose low carbon transport
Take the train or bus for trips closer to home. If flying, book non-stop flights in economy class. When renting a car, select electric or compact models. Walk, bike, or use public transit within the destination. Choose transport providers that prioritize energy efficiency and sustainable fuel.
Book lower emissions flights
Book non-stop flights in economy class and choose airlines that prioritise fuel efficient planes, sustainable fuel, and waste reduction such as recycling, to reduce the impact of each flight.
Travel slowly, but efficiently
Spend more time in fewer places and plan itineraries that minimise travel distances to reduce transport emissions. Immerse yourself in the destination to deeply connect with the culture.
ACOMMODATION
Stay at eco-friendly hotels
Choose accommodations with energy efficiency, renewable energy, and water-saving measures in place
Conserve water and energy
Turn down the heat/AC at home before you leave and in your hotel. Decline daily housekeeping, take shorter showers, and turn off lights and electronics when not in use. Close the curtains to keep the room from heating up in the sun or getting cold at night. Also do this at home before departing.
