Charitable commitment
5% of our annual profit is donated to charities focused on Climate Change or local charities in the regions in which we hold our events.

Purity commitment
Unlike many other professional event companies in the sustainability sector, Green Power Conferences does not promote or profit from industry sectors which are detrimental to the environment.

Green commitment
Our Green codes of practice on waste and environment protection focus on:

• Reducing waste
• Reusing materials at every opportunity
• Aligning ourselves with green suppliers & partners
• Minimising the amount of printed materials & direct mail we use
• Recycling
• Encouraging our staff to be responsible, corporate green citizens
• Utilising energies and water sparingly
• Considering environmental impacts in our purchasing
• Endeavouring to work with partner organisations that share our green values
• Utilising public transport wherever possible and its impacts on the environment

It is our intention to operate our business in an as environmentally friendly way as we can, as is illustrated by what we have achieved to date -

At our conferences

• We offset the GHG generated by running all conferences
• We take conferences to the markets to minimise intercontinental travel
• We offset all staff travel and attempt to offset the travel of all event attendees
• Our badges are sourced from sustainable materials and are reused where possible
• We have eliminated the use of paper in our conference documentation and substitute with reusable memory sticks
• We seek to use green venues wherever possible and encourage venues to source locally produced food with low food miles
• We look to educate and pressure venues into minimising their own footprint
• Shipping to Green Power’s conferences is minimised by printing locally
• Any items we bring to conferences (pads/pens/bags) are made from recycled materials

In our offices

• Staff are actively encouraged to avoid wasteful printing
• Waste paper is used on both sides before recycling
• We use ‘Green Print’ to minimise our usage of ink and paper
• Minimum use of paper based marketing & registration.
• All of the paper we use is recycled
• We actively focus on email and web based communication
• Solar Panels on office roof at Dubai Office
• We offset our office energy usage
• Our UK offices are furnished with green/recycled furniture
   
• We use recycled Business Cards
  
• We recycle our old computers, mobile phones and printer cartridges
