Creating a sustainable event experience

World Ethanol & Biofuels is not only discussing biofuels as a solution to sustainable and low carbon mobility but taking active steps now to reduce waste in our own journey to net zero.

We see the importance of not only providing a forum for sustainable initiatives in the energy industry but in also providing an eco-friendly meeting space and are taking actions now to offset the carbon impact which we cannot yet avoid.

Powered by renewable electricity

As part of our continued commitment to sustainability the event's electricity sources have been switched to renewable sources thereby significantly reducing the event's carbon footprint.

How are we building a sustainable event?

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

Social responsibility

We want World Ethanol & Biofuels 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

World Ethanol & Biofuels 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 World Ethanol & Biofuels 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..
