At Diversified we understand that our actions and decisions have a significant impact on the world around us. That’s why we’re committed to working sustainably with our visitors, exhibitors and stakeholders to consider the long-term impact of our business on the environment and society. By reducing waste, conserving resources, investing in renewable energy and supporting local communities, we strive to operate with environmental and social responsibility. Our goal is to create a better future for ourselves, our customers, and generations to come.

We understand there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the environmental challenges we all face. But we do know that we all need to make a change and that every little change makes a difference. Our sustainability journey has started with new initiatives across our events and the wider business. Explore our efforts here and see how we are making a positive impact.

Minimising our environmental impact

  • We aim to reuse or recycle signage at our events.
  • We recycle all uncontaminated carpet at our events. We aim to use a carpet product that can be reused, as well as recycled.
  • We aim to use less paper and sustainably sourced paper.
  • Where possible we collect and reuse lanyards. All new lanyards we purchase for future events will be made with sustainable materials.
  • Water filling stations are available at our events and we encourage all attendees to bring reusable drinking bottles.
  • We encourage our exhibitors to exhibit sustainably. More info for exhibitors here.
  • Where possible, surplus food products are distributed to local food banks.
  • We work with suppliers to offset carbon emissions.
