IFMA Practices

IFMA holistically embraces environmental stewardship. The association follows a set of sustainable policies and practices at all IFMA events; and we encourage our event partners, exhibitors, sponsors and attendees to do their part in reducing our collective carbon footprint.

Reuse/Recycle

• Drop your conference name badges in recycling bins throughout the center for reuse at future IFMA events.
• Drop unwanted papers, used cans and bottles in recycling bins located throughout the center.

Reduce Paper Usage

• Primary distribution of event information via website and email.
• On-site materials/handouts will be minimal.
• Conference program details submitted and edited via online database.
• Limited distribution of conference collateral materials.

One of IFMA's goals is to empower facility management professionals to lead the implementation of sustainable initiatives in their workplaces and communities. Learn more about IFMA sustainability initiatives.
