Seatrade Cruise

Celebrating 50 years as the cruise industry's leading platform for collaborating, innovating, and doing business.

Sustainability at Seatrade Cruise Events

We know sustainability is increasingly important to our attendees and exhibitors, as well as to our market as a whole. Running events with international audiences gives us lots of opportunities to improve our impacts environmentally, socially and economically in our host cities. We want to make our events more responsible and play a 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.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Shaping the cruise industry for a sustainable future.

At Seatrade, we achieve sustainable commercial success through thoughtful market focus and superior results for our customers. Being a sustainable business is central to how we run our events, how we make decisions and how we do business every day.

Our continuing evolution is fueled by insight, innovation, and collaboration. We are proud of our commitment to having a positive environmental and social impact on both the communities and industries we work within.

Sustainability at Informa Markets

Our events are part of Informa Markets and the Informa Group. Sustainability at Informa focuses on the long term impacts we have on our 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 recognising 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.
