Our Green Design Approach• Suppliers on standby
• Clarifying your vision
• Tendering suppliers
• Individual exhibition criteria

The supply chain
• All suppliers are asked about sustainability criteria during our ISO 9001 process
• Suppliers are asked to update their responses on a yearly basis
• This ensures we understand the capacity in our supply chain in order to deliver a sustainable exhibition

Establish your vision
• What is your vision for sustainability?
• What are the most important aspects?
• What is the lifecycle of your exhibition?
• Are you willing to take a long-term costing approach?
• Are you willing to spend more for sustainable products or certification?

Sustainability criteria
