Going Green Together
At ATTD, we are deeply committed to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals set by the UN and taking meaningful actions to minimize our environmental impact. We strive to improve our events’ environmental footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Our focus spans across key areas such as waste, food, and energy management, with carefully designed initiatives before, during, and after the event. We are dedicated to educating ATTD delegates, exhibitors, and sponsors about sustainable practices and empowering them to implement these changes in their own communities.
Together, we pave the way for a greener, healthier, and more sustainable platform for advancing diabetes research, technology, and care.
ATTD and the Sustainable Development Goals
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, also called the Global Goals) are 17 goals with 169 targets that all UN Member States have agreed to work toward achieving by 2030. They set out a plan for a world without poverty, hunger, and disease.
Each year, we chose a set of goals that act as our guide and missions to strive for so our events
A more sustainable ATTD requires working together with exhibitors and attendees.
ATTD sets out to be more sustainable in every step and aspect of the conference. To make it it’s indespensable to count with the collaboration of the exhibitors which we advise in every step of the way, and attendees who play a key role in managing waste. In our events, we aim to have:
- Less paper waste with the use of our mobile App.
- Water stations so participants can make use of reusable water bottles.
- Healthy, local-based lunches with vegetarian options available.
- Waste management across the venues with recycle bins.
- Well-being activities for our participants.
- Ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all.
