A Carbon-Neutral Event

How Can You Reduce Your Environmental Footprint at 4YFN?

We're committed to supporting exhibitors and contractors in adopting sustainable practices. Our goal is to inspire and guide you in minimizing your environmental impact, both during your participation and the event planning process. Together, let's explore eco-friendly solutions and create a greener, more responsible event experience.

• Boost Your Brand Reputation: Showcase your commitment to sustainability and stand out as a responsible leader in your industry

• Strengthen ESG Alignment: Align your participation with your company's Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) goals, reinforcing your sustainability strategy

• Enhance Customer Engagement: Today's customers value environmentally conscious businesses. By joining the green movement, you'll strengthen your connection with co-aware audiences

• Make a Positive Impact: Help reduce the environmental footprint of 4YFN, contributing to a greener future for all and aid social and cultural projects endorsed by the Barcelona City Council and L'Hospitalet de Llobrigat City Council.

2. Remember to check out the Sustainable Project Manager Checklist to create a successful and sustainable booth experience.

3. Consider more environmentally friendly options for transportation in planning your participation 

• Use public transportation to reach the venue with the MWC Free public transport pass. Share your car or taxi with other members of your company. 

• Consider using airlines with offset programs. 

• Book a non-stop flight to get to Barcelona. Non-stop flights are exponentially better for the environment because as much as 50% of carbon emissions come from take-off and landing. It is worth the extra money to book direct flights!

4. Unleash the Power of Giving. Join the Donation Room Initiative!
