Sustainability

METALTECH & AUTOMEX, the Malaysia’s Leading Machine Tools, Metalworking and Automation Technology is part of Informa Markets and the Informa Group. Sustainability at Informa aims to be run in an environmentally and socially responsible way whilst seeking to inspire sustainable development within the community. This effort is to ensure a positive effect on the environment and its effect on society. Organising METALTECH & AUTOMEX gives us lots of opportunities to improve our impacts environmentally, socially and economically in our host cities. The team is committed to make the exhibition event be more responsible and play a significant role in helping our markets improve its own sustainability through connecting people with the networks and knowledge they want to help solve the big challenges in our sector.

SUSTAINABILITY IN INFORMA MARKETS

Our event is part of Informa Markets and the Informa Group. Sustainability at Informa focuses on the long term impacts we have on customers, colleagues, the communities we work in and the environment.

Many of our stakeholders are clearly telling us that sustainability (social, economic and environmental) is something that is no longer a nice to have but a necessary part of any event. We want to make sure we’re meeting those expectations and we believe that being sustainable is the right thing to do.

We also recognise that it’s not just about the way we produce our events and products but recognizing that we have a role to play in providing a space to work in partnership together with our markets to inspire the sustainable development of the industries we serve. This is an ongoing process for us and we’re looking for ideas of how we can improve.
