Sustainability Policy
At Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event, we are committed to minimising our environmental impact as both an event and organisation, while also promoting sustainable practices within the audiovisual and media industry.
Our approach to sustainability is built on three key pillars: environmental, economic, and social responsibility. This includes fostering an inclusive and equitable environment, supporting local economies, and reducing our carbon footprint.
Environmental Sustainability
We strive to reduce our environmental impact by:
- Reducing Carbon Emissions: Minimising energy use, encouraging public transport, and allowing virtual participation to cut travel emissions.
- Minimising Waste: We prioritise eco-friendly, recycled, or biodegradable materials and aim to reduce printed materials by using digital resources.
- Raising Awareness: Our platform educates participants on environmental issues and promotes sustainable practices within the audiovisual industry.
Economic Sustainability
Supporting the local economy and industry growth is key:
- Local Sourcing: We collaborate with local suppliers to reduce transport emissions and support Estonia’s economy.
- Cost-Efficiency: We balance quality with cost-efficiency to ensure the event's long-term sustainability.
- Supporting Emerging Talent: By providing opportunities for young professionals, we contribute to future industry growth.
Social Sustainability
We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive and diverse environment:
- Diversity & Inclusion: We amplify diverse voices and ensure gender balance and structural representation within our committees, juries, and speakers.
- Accessibility: We ensure our event is physically and digitally accessible to all, including those with disabilities.
- Safe Spaces: We maintain a welcoming environment, free from discrimination and harassment, with clear guidelines in place.
- Professional Development: We support career growth through networking, collaboration, and workshops, particularly for young professionals.
We recognise sustainability as an ongoing journey and are committed to learning, evolving, and improving our practices. We welcome feedback and are open to conversations that help us improve.
