Taking Steps Towards a Greener Future
At Hanson Wade, we're taking our first steps towards a greener future. We're committed to minimizing our conferences' impact on the environment and implementing more sustainable practices in an effort to drive positive change through transparency.
In 2022, we began working with the Sustainability Group, using their FuturePlus framework to both assess our impact and contributions to various aspects of environmental and social agendas and to shape a roadmap of sustainability objectives going forward. We are delighted that our progress has recently been recognised by EcoVadis who have awarded us with a Bronze Medal during a recent assessment, this recognition is awarded to the Top 35% of companies assessed by EcoVadis in the 12 months prior to the medal issue date.
This Year's Commitment to Sustainability
Here's how we're embedding sustainability into the heart of the Sustainability in Manufacturing Summit.
Digital Agendas
In our effort to move towards a paperless business, we will not be printing physical agendas for this conference.
Instead, the digital agenda will be circulated before the event. We will also be displaying the agenda digitally on-site.
New Lanyard Recycling Scheme
Before you leave, please remember to drop your lanyard and badge in the collection box at our check-in desk.
We will then recycle your badges, and ensure your lanyards are re-used at another event.
Reduced-Carbon Menu
We recognise that the food we eat comes with it's own carbon emissions.
To reduce this, we're working with our venue to put together a reduced-carbon menu for this event, consisting of a higher proportion of plant-based items.
