Our sustainability strategy is built around 5 key goals
1. Educate and Inspire - We equip attendees, exhibitors and partners with actionable tools and insights, fostering Quality Education (SDG 4), Gender Equality (SDG 5), Clean Water & Sanitation (SDG 6) and Responsible Consumption & Production (SDG 12).
2. Support Sustainable Growth - We provide a platform for sustainable solutions to scale, encouraging Decent Work & Economic Growth (SDG 8), Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure (SDG 9) and Reduced Inequalities (SDG 10).
3. Minimise Our Footprint - We evaluate every decision, from suppliers to signage to venues, we aim to advance Clean Energy (SDG 7), Sustainable Cities (SDG 11), Responsible Consumption & Production (SDG 12) and Climate Action (SDG 13).
4. Maintain Transparency - We openly share our data, methodologies and challenges to strengthen this.
5. To Align With Global Standards - As signatories of the Net Zero Carbon Events Pledge and the Better Stands Initiative, we are committed to achieving industry-wide net zero by 2050. We drive Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure (SDG 9), Sustainable Cities (SDG 11) and Climate Action (SDG 13) across the events sector and wider industries.
Reset Connect London has proven that large-scale events can be delivered sustainably, transparently and with meaningful impact. While travel remains our largest source of emissions, careful selection of venues, suppliers and operational processes allowed us to minimise other environmental impacts. Working with our partners and attendees, we reduced our footprint while maximising positive outcomes.
Although reduction remains our primary strategy, we offset unavoidable emissions through a diversified portfolio of high-integrity projects, ensuring we remain carbon neutral while supporting ecosystem restoration and community development worldwide.
But the power of events lies beyond the footprint of a single conference. Events influence behaviours, supply chains and industry norms. At Reset Connect London, we align with initiatives such as the Net Zero Carbon Events pledge and use our platform to demonstrate what is possible.
Most importantly, Reset Connect London is driving cultural change. By convening businesses, policymakers and investors and embedding sustainability into every detail, we amplify climate action far beyond our walls. Together, we are not only reducing emissions today but also shaping the net zero economy of tomorrow.

Better Stands Initiative
We are proud to be part of the Better Stands Initiative, an industry pilot programme aimed at ensuring all core elements of exhibitor stands are reusable. This initiative significantly enhances the sustainability of the exhibitor experience by:
-
Eliminating Disposable Stands: Traditionally, many stands are constructed from poor quality raw materials, used once and then sent to landfill. The Better Stands Initiative seeks to put an end to this wasteful practice.
-
Promoting Reusability: By focusing on reusable stands, we improve the ease and safety of constructing stands, while drastically reducing waste and environmental impact.
-
Defining a Better Stand: Stands are categorised based on the reusability and recyclability of their elements. A stand failing to meet the bronze level criteria is classified as disposable.
Certification & Ethics
LCAW Ethos

CNaught
CNaught Certificate of Voluntary Carbon Action confirms that Reset Connect purchased offsets equivalent to 70,000kg of CO₂e in 2025. These offsets were invested across multiple verified global projects, all certified under leading standards.
These global projects include:
- Istanbul Landfill Gas-to-Electricity in Turkey - Captures methane from waste and converts it into renewable power for the local grid, preventing harmful greenhouse gases
- Titas Gas Leak Repair in Bangladesh - Stops methane leaks from gas pipelines, improving air quality, enhancing safety and preventing a major source of emissions
1Tribe
We have partnered with One Tribe to integrate their carbon calculator and offsetting programme into our exhibitor journey. Sustainability is now included in all exhibition stages, thus allowing exhibitors to gain insights into the emissions linked to participating in Reset Connect.
- Instead of just offsetting in 2025, we are pooling contributions across 2025 and 2026 to fund a larger rainforest protection project
- This approach delivers greater impact and ensures measurable carbon benefits aligned with the Paris Agreement and UN Sustainable Development Goals
Green Circle Solutions
Last year’s event was verified as carbon neutral by Green Circle Solutions.
This year, we have partnered with Green Circle Solutions to provide all our participants with the opportunity to assess their carbon footprints. It allows our attendees to understand the environmental impact of their activities, helping them make more informed choices.
Net Zero Carbon Events
We have signed the Net Zero Carbon Events Pledge, committing to net zero by 2050.
In line with the pledge, Reset Connect is dedicated to support the goal of net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, reducing total global GHG emissions by 50% by 2030 and actively promoting and supporting industry initiatives across the entire value chain.
