OUR THREE AIMS

We know sustainability is increasingly important to our attendees and exhibitors, as well as to our market as a whole. Running an exhibition “Lab Indonesia" gives us lots of opportunities to improve our impacts environmentally, socially and economically in our region. We want to make our event more responsible and play a role in helping our markets improve its own sustainability through connecting people with the networks and knowledge they want to help solve the big challenges in our sector.

We believe a sustainable event focusses on three key aims:

• Inspiring Sustainable Development
• Running an Environmentally Responsible Event
• Running a Socially Responsible Event

At Lab Indonesia, we aim to accelerate sustainability and be able to run our event in an environmentally and socially responsible way whilst seeking to inspire sustainable development in the Laboratory and Scientific Analytical sectors for the region.

You can also help us to create a positive impact towards building a sustainable future at Lab Indonesia.

As Exhibitor – This year, we aim to accelerate sustainability and be able to run Lab Indonesia in an environmentally and socially responsible manner. We hope by implementing sustainability in our events, it will give an impact massively on environmental changes that have begun to be polluted. We believe with all exhibitors, attendees, stakeholders that they care that our events are run responsibility and accelerating sustainability is the most important thing to do as a first step in preserving the environment.

We would like to encourage you to join our sustainability efforts by implementing the below checklist. By working together, we believe that can make the event more beyond expectations, reduce wasted time, resources, and costs.

• Ensure your booth is designed so that its structure can be used again by either yourself or by your contractors.
• Consider about what waste your booth create and try to minimize it as much as possible. For the unavoidable waste items, try to ensure it will be recycled.
• Ensure you and your contractor are aware and compliant with all health, safety and security requirements.

• Get involved with the numerous initiatives and conversations throughout the event which aim to help facilitate and inspire the sustainable development of your industry.

Lab Indonesia 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.
