SUSTAINABILITY AT LICENSING EXPO
We know sustainability is important to our attendees and exhibitors, as well as to our market as a whole. We want to make our event more responsible and play a role in helping our markets improve its own sustainability through connecting people with the networks and knowledge they want to help solve the big challenges in our sector.
Our Three Aims
We believe a sustainable event focuses on three key aims:
- Inspire the sustainable development of the licensing industry as a whole.
- Run a socially responsible, fully inclusive event.
- Run an environmentally responsible event by limiting waste and using environmentally-friendly materials.
Run an environmentally responsible event
Top-line commitments include; managing waste streams, significantly reducing carpet on the expo floor, using sustainable material for signage, adding carbon offsetting as part of the registration process and much more.
Run a socially responsible, fully inclusive event
Working with industry partners to promote diversity and inclusion - proud to support Licensing International’s Diversity & Inclusion Program, Women in Toys, Licensing & Entertainment, and more.
Inspire the sustainable development of the licensing industry
Offering new brands, designs and IPs entry into licensing through the License This! Competition, Working with Products of Change to accelerate industry awareness of sustainability.
Sustainability in Informa Markets
Licensing Expo is part of Informa Markets and the Informa Group. Sustainability at Informa focuses on the long-term impacts we have on customers, colleagues, the communities we work in, and the environment.
Many of our stakeholders are clearly telling us that sustainability (social, economic, and environmental) is something that is no longer a nice to have but a necessary part of any event. We want to make sure we’re meeting those expectations and we believe that being sustainable is the right thing to do.
We also recognize that it’s not just about the way we produce our events and products but recognizing that we have a role to play in providing a space to work in partnership together with our markets to inspire the sustainable development of the industries we serve. This is an ongoing process for us and we’re looking for ideas of how we can improve.
