Sustainability at SIBCON 2024
We recognise that sustainability is important to our attendees, as well as the maritime market as a whole. As event organisers, we believe in working with the markets we serve to create opportunities that improve our environmental, social and economic impacts.

SIBCON is managed by Informa Markets. 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 recognise that it’s not just about the way we produce our events and products but recognising 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.
Informa’s approach to sustainability is structured around five pillars:
Content
Customers
Communities
Colleagues
Environment
