How can you be more sustainable?
We are working with exhibitors, event partners and attendees to make MEBAA Show a sustainable event. As part of this plan, we have developed suggestions and tips for building a sustainable business aviation event.
- Inspire the sustainable development of your industry by promoting your company's and your products' sustainability credentials
- Make sure you and your contractor and compliant with all health, safety and security requirements
- Reduce your waste by ensuring the structure of your stand is not disposed of after the event but used again. More information about the Better Stands Programme can be found at betterstands.info
- Be digitally present - Avoid printing and download the event app ahead of the event to plan your time
- Select energy-efficient lighting and equipment for your stand and be sure to power down your equipment at the end of the day
- While you are at the show, be aware of what waste you are generating. Reduce where possible and use the provided recycling bins when appropriate
- As a visitor, your biggest environmental impact is from travelling to and from the event. When possible, choose public transport and trains over planes and taxis
- When booking accommodation, consider a hotel with eco-certifications to lower your carbon footprint, and be sure to ask about any specific programs your hotel may have when you check in
- Ask exhibiting companies about the sustainability credentials of their business and products
