With Showcase, we believe that walking the talk is essential. As we convene to explore solutions for a just and sustainable future, we are equally committed to embedding sustainability into every aspect of the event itself. This means minimizing our environmental footprint, promoting responsible practices, and collaborating with local actors who share our vision.

We aim to set an example by reducing emissions, waste, and energy use—while maximizing positive impact through meaningful partnerships and conscious choices.

♻️ Our Sustainability Priorities

1. Waste Reduction

We work to limit incinerable waste to the bare minimum by encouraging recycling, composting, and the use of reusable or repurposed materials across the event. Booths, signage, and decor are designed for multiple uses. A scenographer specializing in circular design ensures that the aesthetics reflect our values.

2. Sustainable Mobility

We encourage all participants to arrive using public transportation or soft mobility options such as walking or cycling. In line with our internal policy, we do not support air travel for speakers when a train alternative exists, reinforcing our commitment to low-carbon choices.

3. Responsible Catering

In partnership with the SwissTech Convention Center caterer, we offer seasonal, local, and fully meat-free meals. This approach significantly reduces our carbon footprint and supports more ethical food systems.

4. Local Partnerships

We collaborate with regional suppliers to minimize transport-related emissions and support the local economy. All service providers are selected with sustainability criteria in mind.

5. Measuring Our Impact

With the support of MyClimate, we assess the carbon footprint of the event and seek opportunities for continuous improvement in future editions.
