The Events Industry Council (EIC) has announced that IMEX AMERICA ‘21, has achieved Platinum Level certification to the EIC Sustainable Event Standards.
The standard specifies performance criteria in the areas of organisational management, marketing, communications and engagement, climate action, water management, materials and circularity, supply chain management, diversity, equity and inclusion, accessibility and social impact.
Carina Bauer, CEO, IMEX Group said: “Certification to the event industry’s highest global standards gives us not only recognition for all sustainability efforts, but also a roadmap for measuring and improving our sustainable event programs in the future.
“We’re also committed to the Net Zero Carbon Events initiative and are on track to publish our pathway to net zero by the end of 2023. All of these milestones rely on a collective effort. Without engagement from our partners, exhibitors, suppliers and more we would not be able to make such a positive impact.”
Amy Calvert, CEO, EIC, said: “The Events Industry Council congratulates IMEX AMERICA ‘21 on their Platinum Level certification. This demonstrates a strong commitment to the environmentally and socially responsible practices that are needed to support long-term sustainability in our industry.”
