SUSTAINABILITY AT MEFCC
MEFCC is committed to being environmentally sustainable and socially responsible. From dedicated assistance for people of determination to radical changes in the way we build our show - here is a breakdown of how we are embedding sustainability in everything we do.
Shaping The Pop Culture Fandom for a Sustainable Future
At Informa, we achieve sustainable commercial success through thoughtful market focus and superior results for our customers. Being a sustainable business is central to how we run our events, how we make decisions and how we do business every day.
Our continuing evolution is fueled by insight, innovation, and collaboration. We are proud of our commitment to having a positive environmental and social impact on both the communities and industries we work within.
We know how sustainability is increasingly important.
Running Middle East Film & Comic Con gives us lots of opportunities to improve our impact environmentally, socially and economically in our region. We want to make the event more responsible and play a role in helping the market improve its own sustainability by minimizing the impact our operations have on the environment and on the communities we serve with measures including the reduction of waste from single use plastics and printed materials; the offset of our carbon emissions with the use of renewable energies; and empowerment of the communities with educational events and purpose-driven partnerships.
HOW ARE WE BUILDING A SUSTAINABLE SHOW?
We believe a sustainable event focuses on three main aims...
