EIBTM Sustainability Policy

Reed Exhibitions Ltd understands that our events and processes can have both a positive and negative impact on environmental, social and economic issues.     

Our intention is to provide event management that wherever practicable minimises the negative and maximises the positive impacts.
 
Reed Exhibitions Ltd is committed to continual improvement. We comply with all applicable legislation and regulations and follow voluntary codes of practice and Reed Elsevier Policy.
To ensure transparency of our actions we have joined a trial of BS8901, a new British Standard for Sustainable Event Management. As a result the organisation of the show was independently audited by the British Standards Institute in 2008.

Be it a music festival or sporting event for thousands, a school nativity play or local fun run, Britain loves having fun. But more and more, we are demanding events that are environmentally friendly, ethically sound and of benefit to the economy. 

Now BSI British Standards provides a system for managing the overall environmental, economic and social impact of an event. BS 8901 is a new standard which sets out the requirements for planning and managing a sustainable event. Climate change, the protection of historic sites, equal opportunities and investment in local skills are just a few of the wide-ranging considerations to be made when planning an event.

To claim compliance with the standard an organization must define and implement its sustainability policy, monitor and evaluate the event against key performance indicators and eventually review the event, feeding conclusions back into the policy to positively affect future events.
