Championing Sustainability at TIDES Europe

At TIDES Europe, we are committed to running events which are both environmentally sustainable and socially responsible. From the innovative ways we interact onsite to the radical changes in the way we build our exhibition - here is a breakdown of how we are embedding sustainability in everything we do.

CarbonNeutral® Event Certification

CarbonNeutral® Event Certification is a designation that demonstrates our event has achieved carbon neutrality in line with the CarbonNeutral Protocol. This certification is administered by Climate Impact Partners, and is a global standard managed for over 20 years to deliver clean, conclusive, and transparent carbon neutral programs. The carbon footprint of our events are verified by a third-party company, Bureau Veritas. This initiative is part of the FasterForward - Faster to Zero commitment to becoming completely carbon neutral as a business by 2025 by our parent company, Informa.

How are we building a sustainable event?

We believe a sustainable event focuses on three main aims...

Social responsibility

We want TIDES Europe 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

TIDES Europe 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 TIDES Europe 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..
