Easyfairs is committed to running London Packaging Week in an environmentally and socially responsible manner by:
- Reducing our environmental impact
- Supporting our communities in their transition to a durable economy
- Fostering innovations
- Embracing diversity and inclusion in all its dimensions
One way we tackled inclusivity at this years event was having an even split of men & women as speakers across all of our stages.
Our recent venue change to the London ExCeL has helped to make this event accessible to a far large variety of people due to its convenient location and proximity to the nearby station. It is only a 5 minute walk from your train to the front door of London Packaging Week!
We also have a number of recycling bins & general waste bins on site to help ensure we are disposing of waste humanely.
Some of the top names who helped us work towards our ESG targets:
We established meaningful collaborations with a wide spectrum of sponsors, charitable foundations, and organisations to ensure the ethical and responsible execution of London Packaging Week. These dedicated partners supported us in various ways, be it through stage sponsorships or charitable fundraising efforts. We are profoundly grateful for their unwavering support in helping us achieve our ESG goals and targets.

Dear Exhibitors: Join our green team and act for the future!
When exhibiting at London Packaging Week, you are playing an essential role in helping us create a sustainable event.
Here are some actionable tips on how to make your participation more sustainable:
- Select a reusable all-in stand model from the organiser or design your own stand so that the structure will be reused multiple times, year after year. Work with your stand builder to make your stand as sustainable as possible! Avoid creating a disposable stand just for one event…
- Create reusable signage (without any date on it) made from recyclable materials and with eco-friendly ink when possible
- Use LED lighting and other energy efficient equipment for your stand and don’t forget to turn it off at the end of the day
- Try not to use carpet, and if your really need it, chose preferably reusable carpet tiles. If you use regular carpet, ensure that it is recyclable and that it will be recycled
- When possible, chose public transport or carpool with your colleagues
- Choose a hotel within walking distance and/or applying eco-friendly practices
- For your transport, consolidate your shipments and use preferably transport and logistic companies applying sustainable practices
- Favour local suppliers to support the local economy and reduce transport
- Favour suppliers presenting environmental and social credentials
- Bring your own reusable water bottle to take advantage of our water fountains and help us reduce the use of single-use plastic
