Our Commitment to Sustainability

We are committed to Growmach having a positive impact on people and planet. We want to play a key role in helping the agriculture industry improve its own sustainability by connecting people with the networks and knowledge they need to help solve the big challenges of the future.

We are aware of our responsibilities for a sustainable world.

We know sustainability is increasingly important to our attendees and exhibitors, as well as to our market as a whole. Running Growmach gives us lots of opportunities to improve our impacts socially, environmentally and economically in our host city. We want to make our event more responsible and play a role in helping our markets improve its own sustainability through connecting people with the networks and knowledge they want to help solve the big challenges in our sector.

Our Efforts Recognised: Growmach is Powered by Renewable Electricity

As a part of our continued commitment to the sustainability of our event, 100% of the electricity used within the venue is generated from a renewable origin. This results in our electricity use being carbon neutral, minimising the creation of CO2, and therefore significantly reducing our carbon impact.


How can you be more sustainable?

We are working with exhibitors, event partners and attendees to make Growmach 2023 a more sustainable event. As part of this plan, we have developed suggestions and tips for building a sustainable energy event.
