Sustainability Highlights
A project that offers a rich program of content to help micro and small entrepreneurs keep up to date and find sustainable ways to develop their businesses.
We plan actions before and during the event to make your visit as comfortable as possible.
- Tip for preparing before the event: access the digital platform, get to know the exhibitors and favorite the companies and products you're interested in. This way, you'll optimize your time and get more out of your visit!
- In the pavilion, take advantage of the Wellness Lounge to rest and recharge your batteries;
- We offer hydration points at various points in the pavilion. It is important that you take regular water breaks;
- We encourage healthy eating by offering a food court with a variety of options, including vegan and vegetarian meals during the event;
- We provide free wifi for all visitors and exhibitors.
To get to and from the event, use public transport and the free shuttle from the Tietê metro. If you are from outside São Paulo, we offer exclusive discounts on travel packages.
We want every visitor to feel welcomed and represented, and for our communities to be enriched and inspired by the wide range of innovations and ideas we promote at Fispal Food Service. We do this through:
- Hiring People with Disabilities (PCD) in partnership with the PAE program (efficient attendant program);
- We offer attractions for various food service segments, to help as many professionals as possible;
- Our group of ambassadors includes people of different genders, races and ages.
We want to have a positive impact on our local community.
We encourage the collection of food for the Quebrada Alimentada project throughout the year. During the in-person event, all the food from the solidarity ticket will also be donated. The project was developed by the Mocotó restaurant, which distributes food baskets to 400 low-income families in the northern area of São Paulo.
We have signed a partnership with Café Solar, which has a project to rescue and reintegrate homeless people into society. To take part in Fispal, Café Solar will donate 200 500g packets of ground specialty coffee to the Quebrada Alimentada project.
We are supporting Safrater's "Banco de Talentos" (Talent Bank) project, to get recent graduates from the Tiãozinho Bakery School into the job market.
Better Stands is a program run by Informa Markets, organizer of Fispal Food Service and Fispal Sorvetes, which aims to achieve zero waste stands by 2030. The initiative aims to encourage exhibiting companies to abandon the use of disposable (single-use) stands and prioritize the use of reusable structures.
By making their stand designs sustainable, assemblers and exhibitors will be recognized with Gold, Silver and Bronze seals on their stands during Fispal Food Service and Fispal Sorvetes.
Designed for 2030, the last level incorporates all the elements of the Bronze and Silver levels, adding graphics, decorative items and floor coverings to ensure zero waste generation.
Planned to be completed by the year 2027, this level, in addition to including all the elements of the bronze level, should also include the reusability of all structural objects, front and overhead signage, ceilings and exhibition displays.
This level involves the construction of stands in which the components, including walls, floors, furniture, equipment and lighting are 100% reusable and with a target to be met at all Informa Markets events by next year.
Participation in the Better Stands program brings benefits to the entire events market, the main one being that the adoption of reusable structures will drastically reduce the generation of waste and consequently the environmental impact of events.
