FESPA’s Sustainability Mission
Our Sustainability Spotlight online hub provides print businesses with guidance on how to operate in a more energy efficient and sustainable manner, work with stakeholders to reduce negative environmental impacts across supply chains and reduce their carbon footprint.
Key focus areas include: printing with green materials and inks; supporting the circular economy; updates on regulations; energy reduction and greener textile printing.
In addition, in 2024, we launched expert-authored guides on navigating sustainability legislation, titled: ‘Calculating Carbon’; ‘Sustainable Certification Scheme Guide’ and ‘Glossary of Terms’.
We also publish a series of Sustainability Spotlight videos, led by our Head of Associations & Technical Lead, Graeme Richardson- Locke, which highlight expert advice from FESPA partners.
Videos include: Ali Khalili, CEO of Re-board, speaking about why decarbonisation is important to the industry; Marshall Atkinson from Atkinson Consulting outlining top sustainability myths in the decorated apparel industry; and consultant Steve Lister discussing the importance of creating a circular design process.
Join Us On Our Journey Towards A More Sustainable Future
At FESPA, we believe that our events provide a great opportunity to introduce new technology, materials and automation solutions that ensure the efficient use of resources, enhance communication value and reduce the impact on our planet.
Sustainability is something we strive to build into our culture, services, and projects.
We aim to be drivers of change and to be leaders in the event industry by reducing environmental and social impact.
Every decision we make has an impact. With innovation and optimism, we will continue to drive sustainable change as we protect the planet.
We are committed to designing our events in a creatively responsible way, ensuring the best for our clients and communities.
We are focussed on delivering sustainable solutions that allow us to use less, recycle or regenerate. As innovators, we are constantly looking for new ways to be more responsible, not only challenging ourselves but empowering others to do the same.
We are proud to be certified by BSI to ISO 20121 Sustainable Event Management standard.
