The 2018 UFI Sustainable Development Award is designed to recognise exhibiting companies that are implementing strong sustainability components in their exhibition booths and related operations.
Implementing sustainability when exhibiting is not yet generalised in the industry. Sustainability requires taking into account environmental issues, such as waste and energy consumption and can also address economic and social considerations, such as reduced costs and benefits for the community.
This UFI award competition is open to companies who have successfully developed an approach to create positive impacts and minimise harm through their design, construction, operation and disposal of their exhibition presence. Their entry must directly relate to the booth aspects and other practical aspects of exhibiting, not just to a general “corporate” approach to sustainability.
Innovative and easily replicable ideas demonstrating sustainability will be privileged. As such, the exhibit or the series of exhibits that are the subject of the entry can be based on any theme, and those directly related to the theme of “green issues” will not necessarily be preferred.
Collaborative entries, involving the exhibition organiser or service providers are welcome.
The finalists will have their entry promoted on www.ufi.org and they will gain significant press coverage in major international tradeshow publications, including UFI Info.
In addition, the winner will receive free access to the UFI Congress in St. Petersburg, Russia, in November 2018.
