CHAMPIONING SUSTAINABILITY AT SAUDI STRATEGY WEEK

Bringing the Strategy community together to build a sustainable future

We are committed to Saudi Strategy Week having a positive impact on people and the planet; from minimising carbon emissions and waste by changing how we run our events, to empowering our diverse communities and partnerships. We want to play a key role in connecting people with the networks and knowledge they need to help solve the big challenges.

SUSTAINABILITY AT SAUDI STRATEGY WEEK

We know sustainability is increasingly important to our community. Running an event gives us lots of opportunities to improve our impacts environmentally, socially and economically in our host cities. We want to make our event more responsible and play a role in helping our markets improve its own sustainability through connecting people with the networks and knowledge they want to help solve the big challenges in our sector.

We believe a sustainable event focusses on three key aims:

  • Using our content and partnerships to help support the sustainability of the market our event serves
  • Inspiring our suppliers, exhibitors and other stakeholders to deliver a sustainable event
  • Aligning with the UN's SDGs including: Good Health, Affordable and Clean Energy, Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure, Climate Actions, Partnerships and more

Our efforts include:
