We know sustainability is increasingly important to our participants, as well as to our community as a whole. Operating SupplySide Global gives us many opportunities to improve our impacts environmentally, socially and economically in our host city. We understand that it’s not just about the way we produce our events, 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. Our team is driven to make our event more responsible and to also play a key role in helping our market improve its own sustainability.
Explore the Sustainability Zone located in Bayside Foyer, Level 1, where SupplySide's sustainability efforts take center stage alongside companies leading the way in sustainable packaging solutions.
Located within the Sustainability Zone, this show feature will highlight those who've made strides in material innovation and sustainable packaging design.
Our Exhibitor sustainability checklist that will be available soon offers simple, actionable steps to help you reduce your footprint before, during, and after the show. From booth materials to promotional items, shipping and food service, every choice matters.
Explore the checklist to see how your team can contribute to a more sustainable event experience.
Small actions can make a big impact. Here are a few easy ways to reduce your footprint while getting the most out of your time at SupplySide Global:
Start strong: Ease into your day with light stretching, meditation, or join us for a Wellness Yoga session.
Take mindful breaks: Walking the show floor can be intense — be sure to visit the Zen Den to rest your feet and recharge your mind throughout the day.
Fuel up wisely: Staying hydrated and choosing healthy snacks will keep your energy up. Consider a plant-based lunch — it’s good for you and better for the planet.
Ask about impact: When visiting booths, talk to exhibitors about the sustainability credentials of their products and practices.
Go digital: Use the mobile app to navigate the show and connect with others. Skip the business cards and make connections that are both personal and planet-friendly.
Save energy: Reduce screen brightness and set your computer to hibernate when not in use.
Recycle right: Don’t toss your badge and lanyard! Drop them in the recycling bins on your way out.
