Attendee Sustainability Tips

While you are attending ADM Toronto, there are several ways you can reduce your carbon footprint:

Water Conservation

Waste Reduction

  • Use a refillable water bottle and coffee cup while at the show and conference
  • Take only what you need at food functions
  • Make sure to download the official mobile app
  • Ask for a recycling bag for your hotel room if one isn’t in place

Energy Conservation

  • Turn off lights and thermostat when leaving your hotel room

Air Quality/CO2 Impact

  • Access a ride share or take public transport to/from the airport and to/from your hotel

  • Offset your travel to/from ADM Toronto

Exhibitor Sustainability Tips

Reduce signage waste by:

  • Encourage less printing and provide more information digitally when it comes to booth literature, fulfilling requests via email and website referrals
  • If you must print, create reusable non-dated signs that can be used year after year
  • Avoid foamcore signs and request recyclable material such as cardboard signage

Reduce booth waste by:

  • Requesting sustainable options from the show operations team
  • BYOF! - Avoid carpet and bring your own flooring, like puzzle foam flooring that can be reused at all your shows
  • Break down ALL cardboard boxes and put in the correct recycling bin
  • Request additional booth bins for recycling and compost collection
  • Use only compostable or recyclable serviceware for samples and give-a-ways
  • Use the stickers provided at the Exhibitor Services desk to mark your materials for recycling or donation

Informa Markets logo

ADM Toronto is 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 recognize 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.
