EFI
management and staff are committed to operating sustainable services effectively at all times. |

 Recycle: Re-use |
Sustainable Packing Solutions EFI provide and encourage the use of bolted, returnable cases made to ISPM 15 standard from sustainable resources. Smart, re-usable packaging is good for the environment whilst protecting your exhibits and providing suitable resources for the return or onward journey. Our on site teams work with event venues to recycle all cardboard and wood packaging not used for outbound/ return transport. Our pallet recycling program is a continuing success story. |

Advanced Receiving EFI pioneered the use of advanced receiving warehouses for European events and now operate the service for organisers all over the world. A generous delivery window enables customers to utilise routine delivery resources, avoiding additional journeys, long delays at show site and cutting carbon emissions. Less vehicles on site means less CO2 at the venue and less trucks on the road - something we should all be working towards. |

Watching
Our Carbon
Footprint EFI have teamed up with CO2Balance to monitor the impact our business has on the environment. Our activities are assessed on an annual basis. We then choose to offset our carbon deficit through a series of managed projects through CO2Balance. Here's a link to some of the projects supported by CO2Balance. |

E-Business Our interactive website has been in operation since 2001 providing paperless online information and booking services for exhibitors and contractors. Shipping instructions have been distributed electronically since Y2000. In 2007 we introduced voluntary electronic billing for customers who can accept invoices via e-mail. EFI continue to invest in e-business solutions to streamline customer services and minimize the out-dated paper trail. |

Charity/ Community Support EFI management are committed to supporting national charities and community projects. Ashley Head serves on the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation Challenge Events committee. In 2010 his team raised over GBP 900,000 for JDRF in the UK. JDRF funds research projects aimed at finding a cure for type 1 diabetes. He also supports Children With Diabetes at their annual Friends for Life conference in Florida and takes an active role in the corresponding regional event in the UK. |

Vehicle Emissions Suppliers and vehicle operators working for EFI are expected to conform to the latest environmental protocols. New vehicles are deployed to maintain carbon emission efficiency. EFI management and staff use fuel-efficient vehicles and the company operate commercial vehicles to EU CAT4 as a minimum standard. All EFI vehicles are serviced regularly to maintain optimum fuel efficiency. |
