The Sustainable Development Goals are the most ambitious sustainable development agenda ever adopted by the world’s countries and are designed to achieve four great things by 2030: ending extreme poverty. To reduce inequalities and injustices in the world. To promote peace and justice. Solving the climate crisis.
The Sustainable Development Goals can make this a reality. Formex contributes to these goals through a range of measures. We have chosen to focus on goals 8 and 12, which we feel are closest to us and where we can have the most impact.
Goal 12 - Sustainable consumption and production
- Formex creates meetings in the industry and is a platform for knowledge sharing on sustainable transition.
- Our inaugural Formex Sustainability Award is an award for the most sustainably designed product.
- We choose digital solutions over print production as far as possible.
- For printed materials, we actively choose the quality and origin of the paper.
- We hire lecturers in the field of sustainable consumption and production, such as the Swedish Chemicals Agency and PRV.
- We try to reuse productions and constructions developed for Formex at other fairs.
- Construction at Formex is always done in a thoughtful way to reduce material waste.
- On-site waste sorting and staff to manage the environmental sorting of exhibitors’ construction waste.
- We offer rental of furniture, props and services to reduce transportation.
