Environmental responsibility

With thousands of exhibitors and attendees at World Health Expo Dubai, we understand the importance of reducing our impact on the planet. We're taking strides to implement a greener carbon footprint at all of our events worldwide.

What we're doing:

Reducing waste from our events.

Reducing our events' carbon emissions.

Sourcing sustainable materials for each event.

Reusing and recycling materials wherever possible.

Social responsibility

We're committed to making each of our host cities a better place. World Health Expo creates a positive impact on local businesses and communities globally.

Initiatives we're pursuing:

Creating a positive impact on Dubai.

Empowering local talent and potential.

Considering wellbeing and accessibility.

Running our events safely and ethically.

WHX Dubai is committed to running sustainable, socially responsible event that has a limited impact on the environment. Based on that commitment, WHX Dubai promotes its exhibitors to move away from disposable stands. Better Stands is a Net Zero Carbon Events wide programme aiming to ensure that all core elements of exhibitor stands are reusable.

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.

Our sustainability

This year at WHX, we’ve strengthened our commitment to social and environmental responsibility, making it our most sustainable show yet. The new Wellness Zone offers a dedicated space to relax and recharge, with healthy food options, wellbeing activities, games, meditation, and complimentary health check-ups.

We’ve expanded our focus on sustainability-driven healthcare content and created an inclusive environment that empowers the next generation of leaders. Behind the scenes, the venue supports this commitment through full wheelchair accessibility, direct metro access, renewable energy use, and reusable feature infrastructure.
