OUR COMMITMENT
IEG always green
Italian Exhibition Group (IEG), a leading company in Italy with its venues in Rimini and Vicenza for the organization of trade fairs and conferences, has been pursuing an environmental sustainability policy for over 20 years, marked by the green core brand.
Our commitment
Photovoltaics take the lead.
Since 2022, IEG has equipped its exhibition and conference venues in Rimini and Vicenza with photovoltaic systems integrated into the buildings’ roofs, with a total installed capacity of 7,525 kWp. These systems generate 8.5 million kWh of clean electricity annually, enough to make all its Italian sites energy self-sufficient.
This capacity is equivalent to the energy needs of 2,982 households and contributes to saving 4.5 million tonnes of CO₂ emissions into the environment.
Sustainable set-ups.
IEG, through its set-up company Prostand, is pursuing a low environmental impact path by ensuring a sustainable supply chain. This includes the Zero Waste approach, a reduction in CO₂ emissions thanks to modular and foldable furniture that allows for a 70% reduction in volume, and lower emissions due to reduced road transport.
Sustainable mobility.
At the Rimini and Vicenza venues, 20 electric charging stations have been installed, providing a total of 40 outlets that are continuously connected to the venues’ energy network.
Diversity and inclusion.
IEG is the first Italian exhibition company to obtain the Gender Equality Certification UNI/PdR 125:2022, recognizing the full alignment of its corporate policies with principles of workplace equity and inclusion for all employees within the organization.
Partnering with RE-CIG.
In 2023, IEG launched a partnership with RE-CIG®, the first company to collect and transform cigarette butts into plastic material (cellulose acetate), which can be used to produce new items. That same year, IEG received a certificate of recognition for having recycled instead of disposing a total of 23 kg of cigarette butts collected from January to August.
