Circular Economy in Action: From Booth to Legacy
The “Together, Make the World Better” philosophy drove BenQ’s innovative approach to exhibition sustainability. 100% circular materials and equipment rentals significantly cut the carbon footprint, while post-event material return to design partner KY-POST ensures continued use at the 2025 SDG Asia Expo in September.
This circular approach creates a traceable sustainability record, demonstrating how large-scale events can minimize waste through upstream design and cross-venue reuse strategies.
22 ESG Goals: Comprehensive Sustainability Framework
BenQ Group’s achievement spans three critical pillars:
Environment: Carbon footprint verification, 90% digitalization of printed materials, 100% reusable utensils, and 100% circular materials addressing climate change.
Social: Over 50% AI green smart solutions, campus seminars building sustainability literacy, digital responsibility through AI financial fraud prevention, and livestreamed AI sessions expanding accessibility.
Governance: 100% vegan locally sourced catering, 90% local souvenirs sourcing, 80% Taiwan-sourced construction materials, and prioritized sourcing from B Corps and social enterprises.
30 Partners Unite: Collaborative Sustainability
The initiative brought together 30 sustainability partners, including BenQ subsidiaries like Qisda, ACE Energy, Alpha Networks, and external collaborators like KY-POST Design International and CircuPlus. This collaborative approach demonstrates how industry-wide sustainability requires ecosystem-level thinking.
AI Innovation Meets Green Technology
Joe Huang, General Manager of BenQ Group, emphasized that the company brought together 23 subsidiaries to showcase AI innovation while supporting customers in green transitions. The exhibition incorporated climate mitigation, AI financial fraud prevention, and smart healthcare, highlighting digital responsibility and supply chain sustainability.
Industry Impact: Setting New Standards
According to the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), BenQ’s achievements prove that environmental responsibility and business growth aren’t mutually exclusive. The 30% emissions reduction despite doubled booth size demonstrates how innovative design and circular principles can deliver both sustainability and scale.
Bottom Line: Blueprint for Future Exhibitions
BenQ Group’s ISO 20121:2024 certification represents more than corporate achievement – it’s a replicable model for sustainable event management. As global tech companies face increasing pressure for environmental accountability, BenQ’s three-year journey provides a proven framework for meaningful change.
