Championing sustainability at SuperReturn International

Our event guide will be delivered in a 100% digital format this year, significantly reducing our usage of paper products during the live experience.  

We'll have QR codes onsite that attendees can easily scan with their smartphone to pull up the agenda on their mobile devices.

• No physical mail promotional material referring to the conference

• Use of digital signage wherever possible

• Significant efforts are made to reduce food waste by anticipating precise delegate numbers 

• Menus are seasonal and regional, resulting in reduction of meat overall 

• Chinaware and cutlery are offered whenever possible. In cases where disposables are necessary, we have switched to biodegradable materials (e.g. coffee cups) 

• Lanyards selected are made from recycled PET plastic which can then be recycled again at the end of the event

• Lanyards are ensured to be collected and fully recycled post-event. 

Per our commitment to the evolution of the exhibition industry, we aim to ensure that we are delivering the best possible experience for our customers. 

We believe that by moving away from the use of disposable exhibition booths, we will improve the ease, quality, safety, and sustainability of the exhibitor experience at our events. 

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

• We will use renewable energy

• We will ensure all added lighting is energy efficient

We encourage delegates based in Germany, or close neighbouring countries, to use the train to travel to Berlin. 

We will have shuttles between venues to encourage use of shared transportation, rather than individual taxis. 

We encourage walking as the best mode of transport as all hotels are within walking distance!

The InterContinental Hotel, Berlin, is certified as LEED, Gold – the green building rating system. It is also certified as a level 4 Leader, leading the way in the GreenEngage programme.

Initiatives include:

• Electricity is 100% sourced from renewable energy
• Comprehensive recycling system in place
• Motion sensors in public places to reduce energy consumption
• Replacement of obsolete technical equipment (chillers, fan coils etc)with energy efficient equipment
• In room bulk size refillable amenities to reduce plastic waste

We're working more closely than ever with our sponsors and exhibitors to ensure we all commit to doing the right thing for our customers, colleagues, and the communities we serve.

In keeping with our sustainability aims at SuperReturn events we are asking that exhibitors do not provide giveaways at this event and we would like all of our attendees to embrace this sustainability goal with us.

Instead, SuperReturn events will provide QR codes to exhibitors that can be shown at their stands so that attendees can download materials such as white papers or brochures, or to simply share their details with exhibitors. Please support our aims by downloading our exhibitors’ QR codes.
