Insider Publishing Group are dedicated to becoming more eco-friendly as a company, focussing predominantly on a Green Policy for our events. We have a great platform to promote sustainability and this is something that both the (re)insurance industry, and the event’s industry should be taking seriously. 

 

In recent years, it has become increasingly clear that becoming eco-friendly is absolutely imperative to ensure that we can continue to live sustainably as we do today.

 

Insider Publishing Group has started to make these changes in 2019 and we plan to make a full commitment to these changes in 2020 at all of our events.

 

In order to become more sustainable we have put together a list of action points. We can aim to:

✔ Make use of online platforms to communicate event information. For example, using apps rather than single use print material

✔ Reduce levels on printing for events

✔ Be more conscious when travelling overseas

✔ Promote walking and cycling routes to events

✔ Be conscious of reusing materials. For example, pens, signage and badges

✔ Only contract venues that operate green policies

 

We commit to ensuring the venues we use make efforts to do the following:

 

✔ Provide specific recycling areas for attendees

✔ Minimise single use plastics. For example, not using disposable coffee cups and plastic straws

✔ Provide water refill stations

✔ Avoid food waste by catering to numbers as best possible

 

We commit to ensuring that our sponsors:

 

✔ Reduce their literature distribution to align with our green policy

✔ Attempt to adopt multiuse/recycled materials for their stands

✔ Promote their product in the most sustainable way
