Sustainability
At CCBE Chengdu Beauty Expo, we are committed to creating a positive impact on both people and the planet. By building the connections and knowledge that industry professionals need, we strive to play a key role in supporting the beauty community on its journey toward sustainability. Our mission is to help industry players strengthen their sustainable practices and address the major challenges of the future.
Our Commitments to Sustainability
To achieve our vision, we are dedicated to:
- Embedding sustainability into our brand – inspiring our industry to become more sustainable while contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
- Achieving carbon neutrality – halving our waste by 2025, ensuring the carbon savings we deliver to our customers exceed our own emissions, and using this as a pathway to reach zero waste and net zero carbon by 2030.
- Giving back to communities – contributing at least 1% of our pre-tax profits to local communities by 2025, advocating for diversity and inclusion, and creating value for our host cities.
At Informa, sustainability is about our long-term impact on customers, colleagues, the communities we work in, and the environment. To deliver on this, Informa has developed “FasterForward”, our approach to sustainable business.
Our ambition is to become an ever more sustainable and positively impactful business. Through the FasterForward program, we are embedding sustainability into everything we do and creating opportunities to help our customers and markets move forward too. FasterForward is a structured, three-part program with ambitious commitments and a wide range of activities covering Informa’s operations, our brands and products, and our broader community impact. Whenever we talk about sustainability, we are talking about FasterForward.
In 2022, Informa plc ranked No. 1 globally in the Media & Entertainment sector of the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI).
