Our industry has now entered the post COVID-19 era and we all hope the horizon remains bright. We have met and conquered one challenge as another arrives on our doorstep: reducing the carbon footprint within our industry until we fulfil the UFI pledge to deliver Net Zero Carbon Events by 2050. Companies within our industry are now focusing their energy on this goal and many companies have already defined and started to implement specific actions. Operations & Services entities have a central & critical role to play if we are to deliver on this promise.
