Seatrade Maritime UAE: Shaping a Sustainable Future
We know sustainability is increasingly important to our attendees and exhibitors, as well as to our market as a whole.
Running an event gives us lots of opportunities to improve our impacts environmentally, socially and economically in our host city. 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 that by focusing on the issues where we are well positioned to make a positive impact, we have a great opportunity to play a role in enabling both our market and wider industry in becoming more sustainable.
Our Three Key Areas
Better Stands Programme
The Better Stands Programme aims to unite and encourage exhibitors, along with their appointed contractors, to move away from disposable, single-use stands at events, in favour of re-usable or recyclable structures. A disposable stand or booth is a space-only/raw space build that is used only once. They are typically constructed from poor quality raw materials onsite which are then demolished post-show and sent to either landfill or burned.
We believe that by moving away from the use of disposable stands we will improve the ease, safety, and sustainability of the exhibitor experience at our events.
