Mitigating our environmental impact at industry events

At ST, we are committed to mitigating our environmental impact at tradeshows through various initiatives, such as selecting suppliers with compatible sustainability approaches and encouraging sustainable travel options for our employees.
 

In collaboration with the certified organization Ecoevents, we aim to fully offset our carbon emissions by investing in projects that reduce or capture an equivalent amount of carbon to that generated by our participation in the event.

We have already completely offset our carbon emissions for multiple European events, such as embedded world and PCIM in 2025. This initiative is now being gradually expanded on a global scale, starting with wider industry events to maximize its positive impact.

ST evaluates, collects, and consolidates the emissions related to the event in the following areas, as pre-defined in the Ecoevents methodology:

• Event location
• Food and beverages consumed by event participants, as well as overnight stays
• Mobility used for setting up the venue
• Energy and heating used at the event, and waste generated
• Materials used for the event
• Other activities impacting the carbon footprint

The tons of CO₂ equivalent are compensated through the purchase of carbon credits.
 

ST participates in reforestation initiatives, which allow us to fully offset our carbon emissions linked to our participation to the event, ensuring that our presence is environmentally responsible and sustainable.
