Sustainability Initiatives @ ABSHOWasia 2025 

Recycle and Reuse  

Recycling bins will be available throughout the venue to collect plastics, aluminium cans and paper. After the event, instead of discarding lanyards, we encourage recycling them at designated lanyard collection points. 

Advocating Sustainability  

Sustainability and ESG feature strongly in the 2025 conference agenda, with sessions on balancing ESG with profitability, the impact of climate reporting on accountability, and ESG due diligence in M&A. Alongside roundtables and contributions from regional thought leaders, these sessions highlight how sustainable business and finance are becoming integral to long-term growth and resilience.

Supporting BYOB - Bring Your Own Bottle  

To minimise single-use plastic, water dispensers are available around the foyer area. We encourage attendees to bring reusable bottles rather than relying on single-use bottled water.

Going Digital  

We are transitioning towards a near-paperless event by using digital or projection backdrops instead of customised printed ones that end up in the landfills. The event agenda will be accessible through the event app at the entrance, reducing paper waste and supporting the shift to a digital future.

Carpet-Free  

Our show features no carpet laid in the aisles, eliminating waste from non-recyclable materials. Laying 6,435 sqm of carpet – an area equivalent to 0.9 football fields and weighing as much as 2.66 small cars – for just 2 days, only to send it to landfills, has significant environmental implications. 

Modular Builds  

Accounting & Business Show Asia uses modular booth systems where possible. Working with our contractor's modular templates, these booths are constructed using reusable panels and poles which significantly reduces material waste and promotes sustainability across events.  

Green Venue and Partners  

Our event is held at the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, a carbon-neutral, triple platinum certified venue, and one of Asia’s leading sustainable locations. We partner with Kingsmen Exhibits Pte Ltd, ISO 20121 certified for Sustainable Event Management.

Travel Green  

We encourage attendees to take public transport or choose eco-friendly ride options, such as shared rides or low-emission vehicles, when booking private transport. Every sustainable choice helps reduce the event’s environmental footprint.
