Better Stands

Exhibiting sustainably at Fi Vietnam

Better Stands at Fi Vietnam

At Fi Vietnam, your booth represents who you are. It's designed to grab the attention of thousands of visitors eager to find their next business ally. We're thrilled to provide you a stage for making these essential connections and highlighting your brand. At the same time, we're aware of the waste generated by 'one-time-use' booths.

That's why we've launched the Better Stands initiative, shifting from disposable stands in favour of re-usable or recyclable structures at our events. We believe that we can work together with you and your contractors to eliminate considerable waste while still giving you an unparalleled exhibiting experience.

Why ‘Better Stands’?

Move away from single-use stands

Single-use stands, built on-site and discarded after use, pose safety and environmental risks.

Switch to reusable stands

Reusable stands cut waste, boost safety, efficiency, and lower extra costs.

Built for the future

The Better Stands vision

There are no shortcuts to sustainability, and the only way to get there is by working together with our entire F&B community. To make things easier, we have introduced different tiers of Better Stands for space only stands. We recommend that space only exhibitors work towards achieving at least Bronze status in 2024. So, now is the time to have a conversation with your contractor about moving towards a sustainable solution. All space only stands are independently verified at the end of the event to determine their individual level.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions from exhibitors and contractors

Why Better Stands?

Disposable stands cause environmental, health and safety and wellbeing issues onsite at our events. Across Informa in 2019, disposable stands/booths equated to over 80% of our total waste generated at events. Proactively addressing this practice globally, at events like Fi Vietnam is key to creating a more sustainable events industry.

What is a disposable stand?

Disposable stands cause environmental, health and safety and wellbeing issues onsite at our events. Across Informa in 2019, disposable stands/booths equated to over 80% of our total waste generated at events. Proactively addressing this practice globally, at events like Vitafoods Europe is key to creating a more sustainable events industry.

What is a reusable / non-disposable stand?

A non-disposable/reusable stand is constructed using materials designed to be used multiple times. For example:

• Frame and fabric

• Wood stock panels

• Aluminium modular

• Cardboard flat pack

• Exhibitor owner OR rented

• Plus many others!

There are almost endless variations of multiple use stands to suit every size and desired appearance. The cost of these stands is generally lower than for disposable stands, helping reduce outlay and provide a better long-term investment.

How do I know if my stand is Bronze, Silver or Gold?

All stands at Fi Vietnam will be independently verified to determine which level they have achieved. Better Stands exhibitors will receive certification following the verification to confirm the level they have achieved.

What about shell scheme or MSD stands?

These are already compliant with our sustainability measures. Better Stands is targeted at space only builds, which historically create the most waste.
