June, 2025

 

Emota has been recognised twice at the inaugural C&IT Impact Awards, winning the Innovation category for our EnviroPlan approach, and receiving Highly Commended in the Large Scale Events, Confex and Exhibitions category for our collaboration with a global healthcare company at ERS 2023 and 2024.

 

Recognising Sustainable Impact

The C&IT Impact Awards are the first in our industry dedicated entirely to sustainability, celebrating the agencies, venues, and teams driving meaningful change across the events landscape.

At Emota, sustainability is central to how we design and deliver experiences. Our EnviroPlan methodology redefines sustainable exhibition design by reducing waste and emissions without compromising creativity, quality, or cost.

Innovation Award: Enviroplan

Developed within our exhibitions team, EnviroPlan tackles the industry’s long-standing challenge of waste and material inefficiency. Using data-led decision making, circular design, and close collaboration with our supply chain, the approach enables us to build less, build to last, and build smart.

Today, more than 80 percent of our exhibition clients adopt EnviroPlan, proving that sustainability can enhance both creative and commercial outcomes.

 

Highly Commended: Global Healthcare Company at ERS

Our partnership with a global healthcare company at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) congresses in Milan and Vienna brought EnviroPlan to life on a large scale. The modular, reusable booth design achieved:

  • 98% reduction in waste, with almost all materials reused, donated, or repurposed
  • 11% reduction in carbon emissions compared with a traditional build
  • Four times higher delegate engagement

The project set a new benchmark for sustainable exhibitions and demonstrated that environmental responsibility and brand experience can coexist.
