Green Commitment |
|
 |
|
EXPO is committed to reduce, reuse and recycle through a series of green initiatives designed to minimise the impact on our environment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| Energy and Water Conservation |
|
|
| EXPO actively identifies conservation opportunities through equipment and infrastructure upgrade, as well as operational procedural improvements. Lights in the EXPO's back of house and loading areas are being changed to LED sensor light. Indoor temperature is closely monitored with advanced air-conditioning and ventilation system. Water saving faucets are installed in toilets. |

Waste Management
|
|
EXPO motivates staff, event organizers and visitors to recycle wastes. Public as well as back of house areas are equipped with recycle bins for paper, cardboard, glass, plastic, metal and rechargeable batteries. Large recycling "cages" are also available during exhibition move-in and move-out periods to separate construction waste from household waste.
|
|
Think Before Plastic |
|
 |
 |
|
EXPO only provides glass water jugs and cups for meeting events instead of plastic water bottles. All EXPO's restaurants and concession stands have now stopped providing plastic straws.
|
|
Caring for Community
|
|
Environmental awareness activities for EXPO staff on climate change and plastic reduction are regularly organized to learn about the importance of protecting the natural environment. EXPO team actively participants in the tree-planting, and responds to Earth Hour every year to raise public awareness of climate change and demonstrate EXPO's commitment to improve sustainability in reducing energy consumption.

EXPO is committed to sustainability but we cannot do it all on our own. We rely on organizers' and participants' cooperation and support. Everyone has a role to play in making events sustainable.
