At CBRE, we believe in fostering a culture of innovation that encourages practices contributing to a sustainable future. Here are some of the initiatives we are incorporating into this year’s event to support our ESG ambitions:
Carbon Neutrality
We continue to deliver a carbon neutral event. We will be requesting travel information for all attendees. Last year we planted over 130 trees in addition to offsetting 27tCO2e, and we are committing to doing the same this year, ensuring we are leaving a lasting positive impact.
Single Use Plastic and Paper Reduction
We are encouraging all suppliers to closely consider the environmental and social impact of their exhibition stand and any additional materials and equipment they choose to bring.
Diverse Supply Chain
We’re transforming our procurement practices to ensure more of our billion-pound budget is used to drive economic growth and impact in underrepresented communities in the UK. We’re also using our position in the market to build awareness of the importance and benefits of an inclusive supply chain in the wider B2B environment. Several of our diverse suppliers will be showcasing their businesses at our event this year.
Social Enterprise
As a founding member of the Social Enterprise UK’s Buy Social Corporate Challenge, we are committed to working with Social Enterprises that invest their profits in environmental and social missions. Several of our Social Enterprise partners are supporting us in delivering this event.
Food & Drink
We are working with our catering partner to ensure the food and drink offered throughout the event is low carbon and locally sourced wherever possible, including more plant-based options and served on recyclable products.
