Expanding longstanding achievements

Exhibition Place has signed the Sustainable Tourism 2030 Pledge, joining a global movement of businesses committed to creating a sustainable future for the tourism industry. This pledge demonstrates Exhibition Place's commitment to improving the sustainability performance of its business between now and 2030 in support of the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.

"At Exhibition Place, we have long understood the importance of sustainability and our GREENSmart initiatives span almost two decades of progress in this realm," said Exhibition Place general manager Laura Purdy. "Today, we remain dedicated to reducing our impact on the planet by going beyond conventional industry practices and supporting the efforts of likeminded event organisers. Taking the Sustainable Tourism 2030 Pledge represents another step in becoming Toronto's sustainable venue of choice and we are excited to expand on our longstanding achievements." Exhibition Place takes pride in supporting the ambitions of likeminded clients including the One of A Kind Show, whose parent company Informa is recognised as leader in the ESG space. Show director Janice Leung: "We greatly value having a venue partner like Exhibition Place who boasts a longstanding dedication to sustainable practices."

Additional leading-edge environmental initiatives at Exhibition Place include Silver and Platinum recognition through the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) rating system, renewable wind, solar and geothermal energy production, innovative building operation initiatives and urban forestry.
