Sustainability at Saudi Maritime & Logistics Congress

We know sustainability is increasingly important to our attendees and exhibitors, as well as to our market as a whole. Running an event with an international audience gives us lots of opportunities to improve our impacts environmentally, socially and economically in our host cities. 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.

 

 

We want Saudi Maritime & Logistics Congress to help inspire sustainable development


We focus on:

  • Using our content to support the sustainability of the market and provide knowledge and insights that address some of the industries greatest challenges.
  • Showcasing suppliers projects of sustainability success through free content

Sustainability at Informa Markets

Our event 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 recognise 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.
