Sustainability

At Surface Design Show, we are committed to responsible environmental operations and event planning and as such commit to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste at the event. We are delighted to be working with the venue, contractors and Better Stands initiative to  organise an eco-conscious exhibition. 

 

98% of our exhibitors achieved Gold or Silver status in the Better Stands initiative.


 

 

The Business Design Centre is a B Corp certified business, sending zero waste to landfill and working towards a Net Zero 2030 pledge.


 

 

Our Main Stage was repurposed from another event. Our Workshop Stage, designed by U-build, is reusable, and Surface Spotlight continues to use tables provided by CDUK in 2024.


 

 

All modular stands are constructed using re-used panels and energy efficient lighting.


 

 

Show Lanyards made from recycled plastic bottles are recycled again after the show.


 

 

Award trophies designed and manufactured by Revive using recycled CDs.
