Sustainability has been a clear factor in choosing suppliers and that suppliers have been assessed on their sustainability credentials/actions. Click here for guide.

Sustainability has been built into good design at the earliest possible stage to minimise emissions in production, operation, and post event. Click here for guide.

Avoid - the use of new materials has been avoided as far as possible.

Reuse – wherever possible, materials have been taken out of existing supplier stocks and will go back into stock to be reused after the event.

Recycle – whether they are existing or new materials for the stand, all materials are recyclable and there is a plan to guarantee recycling at the end of their life.

*Include the estimated % of reused and recyclable material as part of the measurement in 'Measurement' session.

Packaging for all construction materials is reusable/recyclable and there is a plan to ensure they are reused/recycled. Click here for guide.

Minimising waste is built into the design of the stand through the choices and reuse of materials and eventually recycling at end of life. Landfill is reduced to 0% where possible. There is a plan to separate waste streams where waste is produced to support recycling. Click here for guide.

Do customers and staff need to be catered for on your stand? If so, how have you worked with the catering team to make menu choices that are lower emission. How have you minimised packaging (and ensured it will be recycled). How will you minimise and manage food waste? Click here for guide. If there will be no catering on your stand please answer N/A.

The need for any giveaway items (e.g. promotional items or bags) has been robustly assessed and if unavoidable, choices have been made that support sustainable goals. Same for staff uniforms if required. Click here for guide. If there are no planned giveaways please answer N/A.

Only necessary staff attend. Assessments have been done on hotel and transport choices to support your sustainable goals. Click here for guide.

The impacts (CO2 and GHG emissions) of the production, transport, construction, operation and dismantling of the stand have been clearly measured using a transparent methodology and best available data. Click here for guide.

*Please also include the estimated % of reused and recyclable material as part of the measurement.

There is a clear and agreed plan for what happens to everything related to the stand after the event. Are there any choices that you would like to make next time that you weren’t able to this year? Click here for guide.

Consider how the choices made support your brand, reputation, and engagement with customers. Consider whether the stand supports sustainable economic growth and decent work and wages for suppliers. Consider if there are social or other benefits that will directly and positively impact communities in need. Click here for guide.
