Recommended and Highly Recommended Practices
It is highly recommended that within their manufacturing, warehouse facilities, administrative offices and venues that companies: Enforce a no-idling policy for vehicles and do not leave vehicle engines running. Improve collaboration and information sharing between organizers, venues, and logistics operators to reduce inefficiencies for unloading, reloading, as well as mounting and dismantling processes. It is recommended that companies: Localize fabrication of exhibits within the city or country of event to minimize shipping or transportation. Load trucks efficiently, allowing enough time for unloading and storage. Communicate, internally and externally, their emission savings resulting from switching to more sustainable solutions. Prominently display policy guidelines in all loading docks, truck marshalling yards and other applicable areas. Switch to electric or hybrid vehicles and ensure charging infrastructure is available, including for forklifts. ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
It is highly recommended that companies: Combine delivery orders to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transportation costs. Consider the proximity of warehouses to venues, and the general traffic on routes between them. It is recommended that companies: Introduce company-wide policies on accepted load efficiencies. Increase communication with exhibitors about the sustainability benefits of different means of transport. Recommended and Highly Recommended Practices B.10.b Remote and Last Mile Logistics ☐ ☐ ☐ ☐
Highly Recommended Practices B.10.c Traffic Management and Smart Cities
☐ ☐ Perform regular maintenance and inspections of all business vehicles. Use water efficient vehicle washing practices. Reduce the number of trips to and from show sites. Manage the movements of vehicles and plan for spread-out arrival times (avoiding rush hours where possible) thus minimizing emissions. Companies may also: Incentivize non-peak hour arrivals, such as pricing adjustments. Demand the use of smart navigation technology to reduce time spent in traffic and favor more emission efficient routes. Collaborate with cities on creating transport corridors with exclusive truck lanes or train tracks.
