5 inspiring tips for responsible fair participation
💎 Plan sustainably
Choose your stand constructor wisely – prioritize recyclable or reusable structures. If you participate in fairs regularly, custom reusable structures can be an eco-friendly option. Check out our recommended constructors on the event website.
📲 Embrace digital solutions
Replace printed brochures and materials with digital alternatives wherever possible, such as displays and QR codes. Even contests and other activities can be digital, reducing paper waste.
♻ Recycle responsibly
Ensure proper waste sorting at the event and ask your stand construstor to do the same. For larger waste, arrange for the constructor to take them away for recycling.
🚌 Leverage small acts
Use eco-friendly transportation to the event, such as free fair buses. Choose plant-based food options, support local services, and always bring your own water bottle to reduce single-use plastic.
🙏 Create a safe space for everyone
Ensure your stand is welcoming and safe for all. Treat everyone equally and familiarize yourself with safety guidelines to create a positive and inclusive environment.
Sustainability when staging events
For us sustainability means deeds
We develop sustainable events and services related to them in cooperation with our partners operating in different event locations. By working together and communicating clearly we can jointly bring about better recycling and reuse as well as reduce wastage. Take a look at the information concerning individual events!
We bring employment and earnings to the event area
Our events serve to boost Finnish business. The economic impacts of each event in the local area are also considerable.
A successful event demands a well-functioning service network and competent staff during the event itself. Expomark enjoys solid cooperation with its service partners in their respective areas. The events also provide a boost to other services locally, such as accommodation and catering.
We nurture well-being and security
Healthy, satisfied personnel, contented partners and a safe working environment create a sustainable foundation for staging events.
In our facilities and events we nurture an atmosphere which is egalitarian, respectful and open. Every person is welcome to our events just the way they are.
Events create a more sustainable world
All our events offer fresh perspectives and practical solutions for operating sustainably. Particularly prominent among the many topical subjects in each sector are future energy solutions, sustainable development, environmental liability, accessibility, equality and humaneness.
