Here’s how we are making it happen:
Advancing sustainability at our event through Sustainability Inside. Sustainability remains a key pillar of Vitafoods Europe 2027, and this year we’re spotlighting Upcycling and Circularity through insightful content, showcasing exhibitor innovations.
Better Stands results: In 2026, 73% of stands (Space-Only) achieved Bronze certification or higher, with 25% reaching Gold level standards.
Sustainability starts with small choices. Here’s how you can contribute:
Opt for lower-carbon travel such as trains, public transport, or carpooling. Choose eco-friendly hotels with strong environmental policies, with assistance from our partner bnetwork.
Recycle responsibly at the venue and your hotel. Minimize food waste by only taking what you'll eat. Bring a refillable water bottle to use at onsite refill stations.
Consider vegetarian or vegan meal options. Be mindful of giveaways by taking only what you'll use and opting for digital versions when possible. Use the event app to reduce paper waste.
Provide feedback on sustainability challenges and how we can support you by completing the Vitafoods Europe Sustainability Questionnaire, available onsite at the Customer Insights Lounge.
Create a reusable stand that can be used again by you or your contractors. If non-reusable elements are included, ensure responsible disposal to minimize landfill waste.
Consolidate shipments and choose logistics providers with strong sustainability commitments. Reduce printed materials, opt for digital alternatives, and use recycled or sustainably certified paper.
Donate excess food to Nutrició Sense Fronteres and minimize overall waste through responsible disposal and sustainable choices.
Use your stand and marketing materials to highlight your company’s sustainability initiatives and inspire others.
