Sustainability
World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo 2023 is committed to promoting sustainability in exhibitions and we continually work with venues, suppliers and contractors to reduce the impact our activities have on the environment.
RX has signed up to the Net Zero Carbon Events pledge with the aim of achieving zero emissions by 2040. To help us reach our goal we have produced a sustainability charter, guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals which will direct our considerations as to the ways in which our events are organised.
With the charter in mind we have created an Exhibitor Sustainability Checklist which you can utilise in the planning of your participation at World Travel Catering & Onboard Services Expo.
