Our commitment to sustainability

Sustainability is increasingly important to the global nutraceuticals community. Vitafoods recognizes the importance of driving sustainability within our events and across the broader industry. We aim to make our event even more responsible and play a role in helping the nutraceutical and functional food market improve its sustainability by connecting people with the networks and knowledge they need to solve these challenges.

Code of Conduct 

For the safety of everyone at our event, we have outlined a code of conduct for participants at our events. Please read carefully to learn about our expectations for participant behaviour. 

Vitafoods Europe part of Informa Markets and the Informa Group. Sustainability at Informa focuses on the long term impacts we have on customers, colleagues, the communities we work in and the environment. Many of our stakeholders are clearly telling us that sustainability (social, economic and environmental) is something that is no longer a nice to have but a necessary part of any event. We want to make sure we’re meeting those expectations and we believe that being sustainable is the right thing to do. We also recognise that it’s not just about the way we produce our events and products but recognizing that we have a role to play in providing a space to work in partnership together with our markets to inspire the sustainable development of the industries we serve.  This is an ongoing process for us and we’re looking for ideas of how we can improve.
