Sustainable impact as an exhibitor

New European legislastion requires your company to be transparent about its sustainability efforts. Jaarbeurs helps you to comply with this new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Our ambition is clear: to be the most sustainable organiser and facilitator of exhibitions and events in Europe. We want to become CO2-positive, we build sustainable trade shows and events and we support initiatives in the city of Utrecht. We make positive impact together with our employees, visitors, organisers and exhibitors. Waste separation, sustainable marketing, circular stand construction, and inspiring stakeholders are some examples of how we manage to do that. On this page you can read how to make sustainable impact as an exhibitor at Jaarbeurs.

Mobile waste collection points

During setup and breakdown days of events, mobile waste collection points are setup in the halls. The use of mobile waste collection points allows you to separate your waste directly in the hall. In this way, we jointly reduce the proportion of residual waste. This leads to more waste to be suitable for recycling. By separating waste properly together, we reduce carbon emissions.  

 

Sustainable catering

Make sustainable impact with the food and drinks you and your colleagues consume. For example, opt for a vegetarian packed lunch. By limiting the consumption of meat, you can reduce your carbon footprint. At Jaarbeurs we use local products and seasonal vegetables as much a possible. 

Jaarbeurs won the UFI Sustainable Development Award in 2022 for its sustainable catering and food waste initiatives.
