Sustainability at LSX Medtech Leaders

We aim to keep printed material to a minimum and provide information to all attendees digitally. We will have QR codes in several locations that can be easily scanned to pull up information.

This includes the event floor plan, promotional materials, session information, partnering and presentation schedules and any other relevant documentation.

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

Furthermore, lanyards will be collected and fully recycled post-event. We do encourage all attendees to place their lanyards post event to the recycling boxes at the entrance.

As per our commitment to the evolution of the exhibition industry, we are moving away from the use of disposable exhibition booths. This will not only improve the ease and quality of the booths but it will also contribute to safety, as well as sustainability.

We encourage our exhibitors to minimise handouts by utilising our digital download QR code technology at their booths.

We encourage delegates during their attendance to use public transport for their travel.

We are proud to select the BDC as our event venue, a place where sustainability and community support are at the forefront. Their dedication to environmental responsibility and social engagement is truly inspiring. Here's a look at their key sustainability initiatives:

Community Engagement and Support - Established the Morris Charitable Trust in 1989 for local community groups and charities in Islington.

Environmental Sustainability Journey - Maintained carbon-neutral status for over thirteen years and reduced carbon emissions by 73% since 2018, aiming for net-zero by 2030.

B Corp Certification - Recently achieved B Corp certification, a testament to their commitment to high standards in social and environmental performance.

We are working with the event caterers to be as sustainable as possible. Their sustainability framework includes:

• Their suppliers deliver products especially food in reusable containers, this allows them to avoid packaging waste. Delivery batches are also merged in connection with multiple events
• Should disposable tableware be used, they have bio-degradable coffee-to-go cups
• We also aim to lower meat consumption by providing more vegetarian and vegan options

We aim to contribute to the industry in any way we can and this year is no different.

Company presentations will take place each day of the conference to ensure that all participating companies of all levels, geo and sizes have the opportunity to present their hard work and network with potential partners.

We also have panels and fireside chats that focus on leadership and management, as well as, key trends and leading company profiles.

The business design centre has several refill water stations across the venue. We recommend you take advantage of them and bring your own water bottles.
