At Sibos, our commitment to sustainability, caring for the community, and the promotion of diversity, equity, and inclusion, means leading purposeful change – and we invite everyone at Sibos to join us.</em></p> The Sibos Sustainability Pledge returns for 2024</h4> We believe by working together with our participants, exhibitors, and the broader financial community, we can set a new standard for global events. Each year we set clear, ambitious targets to reduce the environmental impact of the event, contribute to the community in our host city, and help create a more balanced and equitable financial industry.</p> At Sibos 2024, we're once again asking for your help to make these targets a reality, by inviting you to #PledgeWithSibos. The Sibos Sustainability Pledge is a tangible way for each of us to contribute to a more sustainable future.</p> All you have to do is select at least five simple but impactful actions you’ll undertake during Sibos week. Examples include opting for meat-free lunches, bringing a reusable water bottle, using official Sibos transport, learning about our charity partners and participating in conference sessions that address workplace diversity or sustainable finance. These small changes, when multiplied by the thousands of Sibos participants, can make a huge difference.</p> Ways Sibos will #LeadTheChange in 2024</h4> We are taking our sustainability commitments seriously too. Our goal this year is to ensure 60% of materials used for Sibos features and the Swift stand are rented or reused, and 85% are sourced from local suppliers.</p> We will use recyclable carpets, collect and recycle badges and lanyards, and encourage exhibitors to donate leftover giveaways to our local charity partner.</p> To support eco-friendly choices at Sibos, plant-based food options and carbon-scored menus will be available in the food hall. Participants will also be encouraged to use recycling bins, water fountains, and our digital Newscorners for electronic magazines and newspapers.</p> Sign up today to make a positive impact</h4> Once registered for Sibos, you can login into sibos.com</a> or the Sibos app and click ‘Sibos pledge’. Select your commitments, and a Sibos pledge icon will then appear in your participant list profile, showcasing your dedication to sustainability and inclusivity.</p> Together, we can bring about positive change for the financial industry, and the world around us.
