Moving Toward Sustainability: An APLF Green Initiative

 

“APLF-Materials+ Sustainability Programme” is launched by APLF, to recognise exhibitors at APLF-Materials+ who have implemented a policy in line with Corporate Social Responsibility. 

A Council of international and independent experts is responsible to evaluate the sustainability compliance of the exhibitors for their quality management, environmental management, energy management, health and safety management, working conditions, hazardous chemicals in products, prevention of corruption and global management. 

The programme covers exhibitors of chemicals, materials (synthetic, recycled, bio-degradable, natural materials, etc.) and equipment. Exhibitors selected by the Council having undertaken an approach consistent with the programme criteria will receive an APLF-Materials+ Sustainable Programme logo. The logo will appear on their stand and also on their online showroom on APLF.com. Selected exhibitors will be able to use it for their promotions to highlight their achievement.

Exhibitors who wish to participate in this prestigious "APLF-Materials+ Sustainability Programme" should complete the survey before 25th January 2019.
