In and around events since 2002, Kate Holliday brought her considerable sustainability chops to trade show and exhibitions giant GES, where she is head of ESG, some 12 months ago. In this episode, Kate defines ESG – environment social and governance – emphasising its spoils and how crucial it is to embed those things into the GES psyche. In discussion with host James Dickson, Kate goes on to compare Defra’s emission factors to GES’s specific calculations and how the two work together. She talks measuring sustainability in flooring and graphics for organisers, the power of tech, energy, supporting events and their communities, the power of strategic warehouse location, reusing products, colour coding and ensuring ever greater efficiency on site.
