Sustainability is becoming as important as ever, and at IFE, 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 wonderful charity partners, City Harvest and Creating Nature's Corridors, as part of our journey to becoming more eco-conscious. The organisers, Montgomery Group, also have a Net Zero Carbon Pledge - click here to find out more.

Creating Nature's Corridors
Creating Nature's Corridors encourages biodiversity and carbon capture as well as creating an improved living environment for local communities by planting trees and hedges across the UK. We are proud to support Creating Nature's Corridors by planting 378 trees and sharing their initiatives.

City Harvest
City Harvest is a surplus food redistribution charity, London's sustainable solution rescuing food, people, and the planet. They put surplus food to good use in a sustainable way by distributing it to 350+ charities, feeding people facing food poverty. We donate all surplus food from the event so no food is wasted, plus the team volunteers at City Harvest on a regular basis.

IFE donated 8.9 tonnes of food
At IFE 2024, we donated surplus food to City Harvest, leading to 27.8 tonnes of CO2 emissions prevented and 21,397 meals delivered to people across London experiencing food poverty. Our partnership with City Harvest has allowed food companies to minimise waste in a sustainable way.

Sustainable show features
We are working with Full Circle Events & Exhibitions to contribute to our journey to becoming more sustainable. They constructed three zero-carbon show features out of recycled and recyclable materials at this year's event and we will reuse, repurpose, recycle and redesign the features year on year.

Sustainable stand builds
We use modular shell scheme which has a life span of 15+ years, meaning they can be reused, and all aisle and shell scheme carpet is recycled within the UK. Exhibitors are having to request 24hr power so that we can turn off unnecessary power. Plus, we only use LED lighting to reduce consumption and all lighting is switched off once the hall is closed.

ExCeL London
ExCeL have made amazing sustainability achievements from using 100% renewable energy, sending zero waste to landfill, and earning the 'Triple Crown of Sustainability'. They have also signed up to the Net Zero Carbon Events Pledge, committing to a 50% emissions reduction by 2030 and to become net zero by 2050. Visitors and exhibitors can also benefit from the free water refill stations available around the venue.

Sustainability Policies
We produced a Sustainability & Waste Policy which is circulated with exhibitors more than 4 months out from the event to allow them to plan accordingly.
Our Environmental Sustainability Policy also outlines Montgomery Group's commitment to reducing Greenhouse Gas emissions and reducing our waste footprint.
