Sustainability at Fispal Food Service and Fispal Sorvetes

1

We are committed to ensuring that Fispal Food Service and Fispal Sorvetes promote a beneficial impact on both people and the environment. Our vision is to transform our event into an increasingly sustainable and socially responsible model.

Our purpose is to play a central role in supporting the franchise sector community, encouraging the improvement of its own sustainability. By connecting people and resources, we aim to provide the knowledge and tools needed to effectively and sustainably address the major challenges of the future.

As part of our commitment, we are focused on three sustainability pillars:

Inspiring Sustainable Development

1. Inspiring Sustainable Development

Incorporating sustainability into our brand to inspire our industry to become more sustainable, promoting the achievement of the SDGs (United Nations Sustainable Development Goals):

2. Running an Environmentally Responsible Event

Becoming carbon neutral as a company and across all our products, cutting in half the waste generated by our products and events, and achieving zero waste and zero carbon.

Better Stands

Created in 2019 by Informa, organizer of Fispal Food Service and Fispal Sorvetes, Better Stands is a global program aimed at achieving zero waste generation from stands.

To this end, we encourage exhibitors and stand builders to replace disposable (single-use) stands with reusable stands, significantly reducing environmental impact.

Why join Better Stands?

Disposable stands account for more than 70% of the waste produced at events, generating significant environmental problems. Better Stands was created to solve this problem, seeking to turn events into examples of sustainability and safety.

Informa continues to be recognized as a leader in sustainability, reflecting its commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices. Read more here: Informa Group remains at the top of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, with outstanding performance in the Brazilian market.
