In planning and hosting IMEX America 2012, a major goal for show organizers, Regent Exhibitions, was to strike a healthy balance between trade show growth, event quality, and a responsibility to the environment and the local Las Vegas community. With this in mind, the IMEX Group has today announced its audited sustainability results from IMEX America 2012, which have been compiled by its sustainability partner, MeetGreen®. They show that IMEX America 2012 achieved 63% compliance with the APEX/ASTM Environmentally Sustainable Event Standards, Level 1*.
Meant to serve as a benchmark for future IMEX America shows and provide a highly transparent, leading example of what the exhibition and events industry can do to positively change sustainability and CSR practices, the report shows strong performance in several key areas.
