Our event
Running events, responsibily
We're committed to adopting practises and frameworks that minimise the negative impact we have on our environment and communities.
Environmental impact
Reducing physical and carbon waste
Here's how we're doing it:
- All lighting is LED
- Your event badge will be recycled after the event, and your lanyard has been sourced locally from Manila
- There is no printed event guide this year
- Our venue has a ban on single use plastics
- We carefully monitor use of energy throughout the event
- Careful mitigation of food waste
- Water refill points throughout the event
Economic impact
Procurement
We carefully consider the economic, environmental and social aspect of all of our purchased products and services we use.
This therefore helps us achieve a truly sustainable, environmentally-responsible event.
To achieve this, we have clear sustainability requirements incorporated into all of our tenders and contracts.
Our community
Our social and economic commitment
We're committed to ensuring we leave a positive, long-lasting impact on the social and economic environments in our host country, The Philippines.
Community
An inclusive event
We offer discounted local rates for residents of The Philippines. Cadets, seafarers and students are also invited to attend for free, ensuring Crew Connect Global is accessible, particularly across The Philippines, which is central to the crewing industry.
Initiatives
Cadet Taskforce
The Cadet Taskforce is central to engaging the next generation of seafarers and supporting their journey to a career at sea. Representing the International Maritime Employers' Council Ltd (IMEC), the Taskforce actively participate in Crew Connect Global with a dedicated project each year.
Communication
Keeping you informed
We understand how important sustainability and environmental responsibility is. Not just to us as a business, but to you, your colleagues and your wider community.
Therefore we're committed to ensuring complete transparency with our approach to sustainability and the practises we adopt
