Sustainability at the Annual Meeting 2020

The World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting 2020 focused on achieving a climate-neutral event through 100% emission offsetting, the use of 100% renewable electricity, and a 25% reduction in waste compared to 2019. Sustainability efforts included promoting rail and electric transport, sourcing 90% seasonal food, and obtaining ISO 20121 certification for sustainable event management.

• The World Economic Forum aims for climate neutrality by calculating and offsetting 100% of emissions from its activities since 2017 through environmental projects in Switzerland and other locations.
• Energy and transport sustainability measures include the use of 100% renewable electricity, the installation of solar panels and geothermal heating at the Congress Centre, and ensuring almost 90% of cars used for public figures are electric or hybrid.
• The event targeted a 25% reduction in waste compared to 2019 by removing single-use plastics for beverages and repurposing materials, while nearly 90% of food served was seasonal produce.
