SUSTAINABLITY
at SB'24 TOKYO-Marunouchi

We’re committed to reducing the environmental impact of Sustainable Brands conferences by enlisting our community in the sustainable production of our events and improving our host communities’ sustainability initiatives and performance.

We continued to implement sustainability initiatives at the event.
SB’23 TOKYO-Marunouchi was held as a carbon-neutral event.
In addition to utilizing the TOKYO MICE Sustainability Guidelines, which we have been working on since 2020, we have to calculate CO2 emissions since 2022, and by utilizing the carbon offsets program.
