Sustainability Efforts
Sustainability is at the core of BEX Asia 2024, with host RX Singapore leading by example in promoting sustainability initiatives. RX became the first tradeshow organizer in Singapore to support the Garden City Fund’s Plant-A-Tree program. In 2024, volunteers, including sponsors from Camfil, ebm-papst, Singapore Polytechnic, and RX Singapore, planted 50 trees to contribute to NParks’ goal of planting one million trees across Singapore by 2030.
Minimizing the waste that BEX Asia generates is a key priority shared with the event’s partners, visitors, and stakeholders to make improvements year-on-year. For Carbon footprint reduction, this involves implementing practical approaches, collaborating with the right partners, and helping the industry decarbonize through the exhibition.
RX is also among the founding members of the Net Zero Carbon Events Pledge, making the company, its shows, and the wider events industry net zero. They aim to commit to being Net Zero by 2040 and make a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. “We are building a company of net zero heroes to take action and ensure a sustainable future.”
