At GJEPC, we are committed to integrating sustainability into the DNA of all our exhibitions. Our goal is to inspire the industry to adopt greener practices and do our part for the planet. We partner with eco-conscious vendors. We promote long-term green practices among stakeholders. We continually measure and offset our carbon footprint for the betterment of the planet by reducing their carbon footprint and promoting a greener tomorrow.”
GJEPC’s IIJS, India’s premier jewellery exhibition platform, has been at the forefront of integrating green practices into all aspects of event planning and execution. From modular and reusable stalls to green energy and digital solutions, GJEPC is setting benchmarks in sustainable event management.
Key sustainability measures implemented at IIJS exhibitions include:
