Environmental Policy

Green exhibition

1. Online Exhibitor Manual
   We're trying to eliminate printed Exhibitor Manuals; some shows are 100% online, others have greatly reduced their print numbers. This also means that all order forms sent to contractors, venues, suppliers are online as well.
2. Show Directory on CD
   We started to introduce show directory on CD from beginning of 2008 at one of our events and the plan is to extend this to the other events.
3. Web development support
   We are making more extensive use of our multi-lingual email broadcast system to reduce the number of printed matters. Besides, We open our e-Invitation system to our exhibitors and encourage them to send electronic invitations of our shows to their buyers.

Green office

1. Reduce use of paper
   We encourage our staff to use recycle paper for printing internal documents and receiving faxes. We also share documents via online systems and shared drives to reduce the necessity of printing them out.
2. Reduce emission of carbon dioxide and heat
   Working together with the office proprietor, we encourage smart-casual wearing at office, which allows higher temperature and reduces the carbon dioxide and heat produced by air conditioners.
3. Save electricity
   We remind our staff of turning down their computers and lights when leaving the office to prevent waste of electricity.

Green alliance

1. Alliance with venues and contractors
   We are working with the venues to have more permanent signage options and less banners, and see how we can improve recycling rates; contractors to try and use more environmentally friendly and reusable materials.
2. Alliance with sister companies and branch offices
   We are sharing information with our colleagues in sister companies and are trying to adopt best practice across our respective shows; in China we will use advances made in China office to introduce to our other offices.
