Environmental Responsibility

The environmental impacts of the Expo are being managed in accordance with international greening best practice - responsible procurement, waste separation and recycling, energy and water consumption have all been carefully organised, and every exhibitor has signed a charter committing to environmentally responsible behaviour.

The Expo has enabled skills training and employment of local people from disadvantaged communities, and its long range focus is on leaving a legacy through contributing to sustainable socio-economic upliftment projects.
