Our Efforts Recognised: Pharmapack Europe is Powered by Renewable Energy
As a part of our continued commitment to the sustainability of our event, 100% of the electricity used within Paris Expo venue is generated from a renewable origin. This results in our electricity use being carbon neutral, minimising the creation of CO2, and therefore significantly reducing our carbon impact.
ISO 20121 Certified Sustainable Event Management System
Our event has also been successfully accredited with the prestigious ISO 20121 Standard for Sustainable Event Management. The achievement of this International Standard is an extension of Pharmapack Europe’s pledge to responsible business. This ISO 20121 Standard focuses on management commitment and leadership, as well as stakeholder engagement for all aspects of sustainability through the whole supply chain. It recognises a continuing dedication to reduce the environmental impact of the event while increasing the positive impact on communities in which the business operates.
Pharmapack Europe 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.
