2011 SHANGHAI FASHION WEEK CLOSING EVENT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
FOREWORD	
The 2011 Shanghai Fashion week closing event brought together 1200 people to celebrate the success of the 2011 Shanghai Fashion
Week. Hosted by the Shanghai Fashion Week Organizing Committee with support from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and organ-
ized by P1.CN and We Impact, the fashion show and after event party were explorations of the relationship between fashion, sustain-
ability and the power of culture to influence ideas about new social concepts. Produced as an event designed to promote the concept of
“E-Fashion: Ethical, Eco, and Exceptional”, ethical and eco fashion lines by Camilla Wellton were featured besides the newest line from
China’s emerging designer Zhang Chi. The show itself was designed to immerse the audience in the contrasting possibilities of living in
harmony with our planet and each other with the apocalyptic potential of living in opposition to one another.
Beyond the fashion show itself, we the organisers strived to produce the event following recognized sustainability principles. The ulti-
mate purpose of this event was to showcase what the future of runway shows should be, as well as showing for the world the Chinese
fashion industry, which is ready to take its place as a global trend-setter alongside more established international fashion industries
like those seen in Europe.
As Ann Wang, the Director of Strategic Projects at P1, Co-Founder of We Impact and project lead explains, ‘We devised an event that
would integrate the concept of E Fashion (Ethical, Eco, Exceptional) into a highly visible fashion event to set an example for China. We
consulted with experts around the world to make sure that the messaging was correct and then secured the main sponsor Lexus who
used the opportunity to launch their new hybrid car. The result was an event that enabled the embodiment of what it means to be styl-
ish, Chinese, eco and modern.’
Sustainable events are a very new concept in Asia. As such, standard practices are fairly non-existent in the events industry in China.
As a result, there were many systemic and structural challenges faced when trying to produce this event following sustainable event
management principles. However, there were significant and notable achievements.
This report, created together with MCI Sustainability Services and We Impact, is the first ever sustainability report created for a fashion
show in Asia. It provides an evaluation of the sustainability of the event management system and the logistical processes followed. It
presents a summary of material actions implemented and indicators depicting the environmental performance of the event. The docu-
ment closes with a list of practical recommendations that our next fashion show, or any other event, could follow to bring improved
results and returns.
We hope that our actions inspire others in China and beyond to do more to show that fashion events can be inspiring experiences and
still align with principles of sustainable development.

SUSTAINABILITY
APPROACH
Sustainability Systems
This was the first Chinese Fashion Show to incorporate sustainability into the organisa-
tion of the event. To provide rigour and a structure (or system) for sustainable event
organisation the organizers adopted the MCI Sustainable Event Management (SEM)
framework. Continued use of the system will more easily allow future organisers to im-
plement the new international ISO20121 sustainable event management standards.
Sustainability Vision
To create an exemplar for fashion shows across the world by illuminating sustainability
as a guiding light for Shanghai Fashion Week, the premier fashion event in the world’s
fastest growing economy.
Key Sustainability Issues
•	 Carbon Emissions resulting from delegate transport and local event operations
•	 Waste produced by stage and set production
•	 Lack of availability and high cost of sustainability food and beverage options
•	 Lack of efficient municipal recycling program.
•	 Low understanding of sustainability issues and product offering in the local meet-
ings and events industry
•	 Time: started the event planning process very late
Sustainability Principles: Eco, Ethical and Exceptional
•	 · Reduce, Reuse and Recycle materials
•	 · Eliminate persistent chemicals
•	 · Account for carbon emissions
•	 · Ensure good ethical labour practices
•	 · Deliver an exceptional experience for participants, partners and employees
•	 · integrate sustainability into the event concept and theme to increaseibility
•	 · Target the concept to domestic and international media
Sustainable Event Management Activities
Strategic Planning: The planning team leaders met to identify a strategy for the sustainable
performance of the event and created customized targets and Key Performance Indicators to
help measure event success.
	
Supplier Code of Conduct: Inspired by the United Nations Global Compact, a Supplier 	
Code of Conduct was prepared for the event. The Code of Conduct outlined clear expectations
for supplier compliance to ethical, responsible and sustainable business practices Event sup-
pliers were asked to agree to the principles outlined in the Code of Conduct with a signature of
a senior manager in the organization.
	
Stakeholder Engagement: Through a series of interviews, key suppliers including the
venue, production agency, catering company and sponsors were engaged regarding 	
sustainable practices and were offered coaching and recommendations for improved results.
	
Sustainable Procurement: The event management team made a series of decisions in the pur-
chasing of material and services.
	
On Site Audit: Independent verification of actions on the part of the production
company,venue, catering, and transportation suppliers followed by a documentation of results.

HOW
SUSTAINABLE
WAS THE EVENT?
Environmental Sustainability
The MeetGreen® calculator was selected as the system to influence and
evaluate the performance of selected planner and supplier actions. It analy-
ses, measures and benchmarks over 160 facets of event policy, practices and
outcomes across ten categories:.
· Audio Visual				· Destination Selection
· Accommodations				· Meeting Venue
· Transportation				 · Food & Beverage
· Exhibition Production			 · Communications and Marketing
· Onsite Office	 	 	 	 · Offsets
The MeetGreen® Calculator was developed by MeetGreen® and was reviewed
by a five member technical advisory committee (with backgrounds in the envi-
ronmental and sustainability industries. Since its launch in 2004, MeetGreen®
has been updated to align with aspects of the British Standard (BS 8901) for
Sustainable Events and APEX/ASTM Green Meetings and Events Standards.
MeetGreen® Evaluation	
Using the MeetGreen system the event earned a total score of “30%” (of a
possible maximum of 100%). This score is commendable for an event held
in a non-conference location in China. However it is below the average score
of 44 for business meetings and events. The chart below displays MeetGreen
performance for business events organised in Hong Kong and Singapore, and
a UN Conference in New York. The chart highlights that while progress has
been made by the event organisers there is much room for future improvement
(please see recommendations).
	
During the onsite audit, MCI Sustainability Services evaluated performance in nine MeetGreen®
areas. The relative category scores can be observed in the top graph. The average event score for
the Shanghai event is benchmarked against other sustainability focused events in the lower graph.

PERFORMANCE TO
SUSTAINABILITY OBJECTIVES
Carbon Emissions Footprint
The event produced a measurable total of 56.98 metric tons of carbon dioxide
(CO2), or an average of 0.05 tons CO2 per participant. In practical terms, this is
equal to the total annual emissions of three US residents or eight Chinese inhabit-
ants (Source: European Commission 2011 Global Emissions report). Carbon Emis-
sions in China have increased by over 200% since 2000, and increased carbon
responsibility from the Events sector is crucial for sustainable development.
As expected, the biggest CO2 emissions impact is from air transport with over 71%
of total event-related emissions. It is worth noting that long distance train transport
produces approximately 10% of the emissions of flying. For example the average
emissions of a flight from Barcelona to Madrid is 140kg CO2 while the emissions
from the high speed Ave train it is only 14kg CO2 (Source. RENFE). Hence event
organisers should seriously advocate a switch to train transport on short haul fly-
ing routes.
150% Carbon Offset
88 Metric tons, or 150% of estimated carbon emissions related to the event, were
offset through the purchase of carbon credits supplied by ClimateCare.
ClimateCare is one of the longest established and leading environment-focused
organisations in the carbon offset market. ClimateCare specialises in socially
focused projects with tangible development impacts; renewable energy, energy ef-
ficiency, improved cookstoves and clean water provision. Every project developed
is designed to contribute towards fulfilling the Millennium Development Goals
(MDGs).
The carbon credits will be retired from ClimateCare’s annual portfolio of projects,
which includes the Mani Hydroelectric Power project in Sichuan Province China.
In the remote mountain village of Yonghong sits the Mani Hydro Power Station, on
the banks of the Yinhe River, Sichuan Province.

Water from the river is diverted steeply downhill via a 400m slope which surfaces at the power
plant and is directed through two 7 MW water turbines. Production peaks during the rainy
season (April to July), and on average produces 60GWh a year, the equivalent to supplying
around 14,000 average homes in the UK with clean, renewable electricity.
Mr Like Lazu, a local resident employed by the local county, told us how Mani has improved
his family’s quality of living;
“Our income has increased. We used to buy our clothes and salt with money from selling
crops. All of our revenue came from selling bamboo shoots, potatoes and the corn my family
planted. After I started working for Mani last year, I have had a monthly income of RMB 800,
which is much higher than our regional average. We did not have a TV set before, but now we
have one. Also, we have better clothes.”

KEY SUCCESSES
AND LEARNINGS
Raising Awareness
Sustainability is very new to the Chinese Fashion and Events Industries. A noteworthy success of this year’s sus-
tainability program was in raising awareness among the event organisers, suppliers and participants. The concept
and challenges of environmental and social sustainability was discussed through a series of interviews with the
venue, production company, sponsors and catering company. The growing importance of event sustainability was
discussed and practical actions were identified to improve the event experience and results.
To raise awareness among the 1200 Fashion show guests, Guy Bigwood, the Past-President of the Green Meetings
Industry Council, together with Ann Wang, Co-Founder of We Impact and China’s 2012 spokesperson for Al Gore’s
Reality Project 24 Hours of Reality, presented the Event Sustainability program during the opening of the Fashion
Show.
Importantly, the show organizers also conducted filmed interviews with various attendees to clearly understand
their views and understanding about sustainability. This allowed attendees the opportunity to reflect on the ways
in sustainability can enhance their guest experience and their lifestyles more generally. It also served the important
purpose of showing that Chinese people are aware and engaged in the tackling climate change—something which
is crucial for gaining traction within the lifestyle industry in China.
Strong governmental support
The challenges and successes of producing the Shanghai Fashion Week closing fashion show and after party ac-
cording to international standards of sustainable events is described by the Event Director and Co-Founder of We
Impact, Joseph Oliver:
‘Coming from five years of experience in organizing green events across the world, I found the challenges we all
faced in China to be unique to the territory complex and ingrained. However, the receptivity to new ideas and deter-
mination to learn was a crucial ally in making aspects of sustainability for the event succeed. We found in particular
the governing bodies to be enthusiastic and supportive of integrating core environmental mitigation into the pro-
ject. The two major challenges that I’d plan for next time would be extensive training of these issues and solutions
with the contractors and clients and in-depth work with the supply chain for all procurement and hires.’
2011 SHANGHAI FASHION WEEK CLOSING EVENT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Consider the team
The fashion industry has a fantastic
opportunity to leverage its influence to
advance sustainability for more responsible
lifestyles. This responsibility should be in-
corporated steadily not only into the design
and manufacturing of the clothes, but also
into fashion Shows. One particular risk area
is caused through the use of vast quanti-
ties of hairspray to prepare the models for
the catwalk. Aside from the environmental
waste cause by the pressurised cans, the
contents bring health risk for the models
and makeup artists. While the chronic
health implications of hairspray ingredi-
ents are somewhat controversial, many of
the individual components have cancer-
causing properties. In addition, inhalation
of denatured alcohol, hydrofluorocarbons
and other hairspray ingredients can lead to
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Report
In the event design phase, the organisers paid particular
attention to rethinking how to reduce the amount of waste go-
ing to the landfill. Wooden construction was eliminated, and
90 square meters of carpet and 160 square meters of curtain
draping were collected for donation.
The organisers were able to reuse the event staging, 30 sofa
seating blocks and eight bar counters from a previous event
saving a huge amount of materials and money through the
reuse of perfectly good event production items that otherwise
would’ve been thrown away.
Catering waste was reduced by using hand passed ‘finger
foods’, rather than full buffet service. China plates and
glasses were used as opposed to disposable products.

Paper Recycled; 30; 11%
The venue did not have a formal waste management sys-
tem. Instead, the cleaning team recycled waste by sorting,
packaging and measuring the different waste streams. Over
940kg of waste was diverted from the landfill for a com-
mendable recycling/diversion rate of 63%.
Electricity usage and cost was minimized through com-
munication with the venue to switch off unused lights and
ensuring the use of low voltage light bulbs. However, the
electricity management system did not allow for full control
of individual lighting zones. In total 3.1 kwh of energy were
consumed at the venue from set up to break down.
Location, Location, Location
The selection of the event destination and location is one
of the most important decisions in terms of sustainability.
Carefully selecting a venue close to public transport links or
within walking distance to event facilities can significantly
reduce carbon emissions.
This event was organised in the newly opened Shanghai In-
ternational Fashion Centre. Prior to renovations; it was an old
factory for cotton and textiles that had not been in operation
for over one hundred years. While not yet a showcase of green
features, the centre management demonstrated commitment
to improving environmental standards. Aside from the energy
and waste management processes already discussed, the
venue collects and reuses “grey water” from rainfall to flush
the toilets. The retrofit and continued use of old building in
China is a laudable endeavour, especially when most develop-
ment initiatives are created by levelling the existing site and
building a totally new proposition on the site, causing a huge
need for new materials and creating substantial waste.
symptoms like low blood pressure, breath-
ing difficulty, and irritation of the skin, eyes
or lungs. Designers and Fashion stylists
would be well advised to investigate the
sustainability of hair products using a site
such as www.goodguide.com, which evalu-
ates environmental, societal and health
risks for thousands of products.
2011 SHANGHAI FASHION WEEK CLOSING EVENT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
Engaging Sponsors
Selection and collaboration with sponsors can significantly increase awareness
and engagement about sustainability. Lexus was one of the key sponsors for
Shanghai Fashion Show and they launched their new CT Coupe in mainland Chi-
na, one of the world’s largest automobile markets. As the world’s first full hybrid
luxury compact car, sustainability was presented as a smart and stylish lifestyle
choice – full of concepts of design, innovation and quality. This educates people
away from the old concept of green as ‘hippy’, ‘crunchy’ or flowery. The benefit to
Lexus was not only association of sustainability and fashion but also in a ground
braking event for China.
Train and Communicate
All suppliers and partners showed an eagerness to implement more sustainable
processes. If the organising agency would have had more time to organise the
event, greater results could have been delivered. The Catering agency explained
that more time would have allowed greater collaboration with local producers
and would have resulted in the delivery of local, fresher and more healthier
menu items. There is a lack of Chinese language training tools on sustainable
events and by producing some of these tools there could be on-going training for
the persons involved and template examples for the industry in China.
The concept of the evening was E-Fashion: Ethical, Eco, and Exceptional. Swed-
ish designer Camilla Wellton showcased her line of eco couture made from Oe-
kotex certified Hemp-silk mixtures , Bamboo, organic cotton, and Modal (Fabric
made out of Beech trees).
To create a beautiful garment in harmony with the land is a distinct type of happi-
ness for us and we believe, also for the wearer.

Recommendations for
Improved Performance
1.	Standards: Consider using the ISO20121 Sustainable Event Management System in the
planning of the event, in conjunction with the APEX/ASTM Environmentally Sustain-
able Meeting standards. The Global Reporting Initiative Event Organisers Supplement
used for this report provides useful guidance for the transparent reporting of sustain-
ability impacts and initiatives. Use of standards will reduce time investment, provide
processes for goal setting and give practical suggestions for action.
2.	 Start early: Discussing sustainability from the first conversations with the event man-
agement team, suppliers and partners will improve desired outcomes.
3.	Teamwork: Create a ‘virtual sustainability team’ consisting of representatives from
key suppliers to the organisation of future events. Meet regularly, set and track goals,
share successes and failures, document results and learnings for future planning ef-
forts. Ask them to collaborate and identify innovative ways to partner, and showcase
their green and sustainable products.
4.	Policy: Create a sustainability policy and include sustainability expectations when
sourcing and contracting with suppliers such as the agencies, venues, production
and catering companies. In the Request for Proposal, outline an expectation to select
eco-certified organizations and show preference for those suppliers who have earned
certification. Don’t forget to share your policy with your sponsors.
5.	Contract: Include a requirement for environmental action in supplier requests and con-
tracts. If you are going to measure include a clause requesting that suppliers provide
measurement data. This information, which is important for event sustainability report-
ing, is difficult to get from suppliers after an event. Don’t pay suppliers until the data is
received.
6.	 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Consider waste in the design of the fashion show. Eliminate
trash, innovate and create new ways to wow your audience. Make sure the venue has
an efficient waste management program. During initial event planning discussions,
identify a charitable organization to accept donations.
7.	Wellness: Source a sponsor of organic cosmetics and hair products for make up
and style products used by models. Ensure sufficient ventilation and good recy-
cling/disposal of chemical products and packaging.
8.	FLOSS: Work with catering teams to create a menu that is Fresh – Local – Organic
– Seasonal and/or Sustainable. It is currently unrealistic to expect 100% local
organic food. Balance menus with local conditions and prices. For example it is
better to have a local fruit from with 100miles than fly in Mangos from an exotic
location.
9.	Showcase: Invite a sustainable fashion designer or community project/charity
representative to participate in the show. Showcase their designs as an effective
way to raise awareness and inspire more sustainable lifestyles. Introduce methods
to communicate the aspects of the designs, which make them sustainable. Help
audiences understand the value of any innovations in products selected. Consider
creating a web based video channel where interested parties can ‘dig deeper’ into
the topic with interviews with designers, models and stylists who are influencing
sustainability in fashion. Accentuate the positive by highlighting the improve-
ments to products, which do not represent added costs to business or consumer.
10.	Ethical: In addition to featuring fair trade products, conduct a review of wages paid
to event staff to ensure that they are competitive with the regional market. Work to
ensure that the contracting policy and partner selection process is transparent and
fair to all participating event suppliers. Adopt a Code of Responsible and Profes-
sional Business Ethics, which outlines a zero tolerance for graft, harassment or
illegal behaviour.
The following recommendations are provided
to help other Fashion shows organise more
eco, ethical and exceptional events.

Cashgate Scandal Malawi: Shanghai Fashion Week Closing Event

  • 1. 2011 SHANGHAI FASHION WEEK CLOSING EVENT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Sustainability Report ECO EXCEPTIONAL ETHICAL& 2011 Shanghai Fashion Week Closing Event
  • 2. 2011 SHANGHAI FASHION WEEK CLOSING EVENT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT FOREWORD The 2011 Shanghai Fashion week closing event brought together 1200 people to celebrate the success of the 2011 Shanghai Fashion Week. Hosted by the Shanghai Fashion Week Organizing Committee with support from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and organ- ized by P1.CN and We Impact, the fashion show and after event party were explorations of the relationship between fashion, sustain- ability and the power of culture to influence ideas about new social concepts. Produced as an event designed to promote the concept of “E-Fashion: Ethical, Eco, and Exceptional”, ethical and eco fashion lines by Camilla Wellton were featured besides the newest line from China’s emerging designer Zhang Chi. The show itself was designed to immerse the audience in the contrasting possibilities of living in harmony with our planet and each other with the apocalyptic potential of living in opposition to one another. Beyond the fashion show itself, we the organisers strived to produce the event following recognized sustainability principles. The ulti- mate purpose of this event was to showcase what the future of runway shows should be, as well as showing for the world the Chinese fashion industry, which is ready to take its place as a global trend-setter alongside more established international fashion industries like those seen in Europe. As Ann Wang, the Director of Strategic Projects at P1, Co-Founder of We Impact and project lead explains, ‘We devised an event that would integrate the concept of E Fashion (Ethical, Eco, Exceptional) into a highly visible fashion event to set an example for China. We consulted with experts around the world to make sure that the messaging was correct and then secured the main sponsor Lexus who used the opportunity to launch their new hybrid car. The result was an event that enabled the embodiment of what it means to be styl- ish, Chinese, eco and modern.’ Sustainable events are a very new concept in Asia. As such, standard practices are fairly non-existent in the events industry in China. As a result, there were many systemic and structural challenges faced when trying to produce this event following sustainable event management principles. However, there were significant and notable achievements. This report, created together with MCI Sustainability Services and We Impact, is the first ever sustainability report created for a fashion show in Asia. It provides an evaluation of the sustainability of the event management system and the logistical processes followed. It presents a summary of material actions implemented and indicators depicting the environmental performance of the event. The docu- ment closes with a list of practical recommendations that our next fashion show, or any other event, could follow to bring improved results and returns. We hope that our actions inspire others in China and beyond to do more to show that fashion events can be inspiring experiences and still align with principles of sustainable development. Team We Impact
  • 3. 2011 SHANGHAI FASHION WEEK CLOSING EVENT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT SHANGHAI FASHION WEEK 2011
  • 4. 2011 SHANGHAI FASHION WEEK CLOSING EVENT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH Sustainability Systems This was the first Chinese Fashion Show to incorporate sustainability into the organisa- tion of the event. To provide rigour and a structure (or system) for sustainable event organisation the organizers adopted the MCI Sustainable Event Management (SEM) framework. Continued use of the system will more easily allow future organisers to im- plement the new international ISO20121 sustainable event management standards. Sustainability Vision To create an exemplar for fashion shows across the world by illuminating sustainability as a guiding light for Shanghai Fashion Week, the premier fashion event in the world’s fastest growing economy. Key Sustainability Issues • Carbon Emissions resulting from delegate transport and local event operations • Waste produced by stage and set production • Lack of availability and high cost of sustainability food and beverage options • Lack of efficient municipal recycling program. • Low understanding of sustainability issues and product offering in the local meet- ings and events industry • Time: started the event planning process very late Sustainability Principles: Eco, Ethical and Exceptional • · Reduce, Reuse and Recycle materials • · Eliminate persistent chemicals • · Account for carbon emissions • · Ensure good ethical labour practices • · Deliver an exceptional experience for participants, partners and employees • · integrate sustainability into the event concept and theme to increaseibility • · Target the concept to domestic and international media Sustainable Event Management Activities Strategic Planning: The planning team leaders met to identify a strategy for the sustainable performance of the event and created customized targets and Key Performance Indicators to help measure event success. Supplier Code of Conduct: Inspired by the United Nations Global Compact, a Supplier Code of Conduct was prepared for the event. The Code of Conduct outlined clear expectations for supplier compliance to ethical, responsible and sustainable business practices Event sup- pliers were asked to agree to the principles outlined in the Code of Conduct with a signature of a senior manager in the organization. Stakeholder Engagement: Through a series of interviews, key suppliers including the venue, production agency, catering company and sponsors were engaged regarding sustainable practices and were offered coaching and recommendations for improved results. Sustainable Procurement: The event management team made a series of decisions in the pur- chasing of material and services. On Site Audit: Independent verification of actions on the part of the production company,venue, catering, and transportation suppliers followed by a documentation of results.

  • 6. 2011 SHANGHAI FASHION WEEK CLOSING EVENT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT HOW SUSTAINABLE WAS THE EVENT? Environmental Sustainability The MeetGreen® calculator was selected as the system to influence and evaluate the performance of selected planner and supplier actions. It analy- ses, measures and benchmarks over 160 facets of event policy, practices and outcomes across ten categories:. · Audio Visual · Destination Selection · Accommodations · Meeting Venue · Transportation · Food & Beverage · Exhibition Production · Communications and Marketing · Onsite Office · Offsets The MeetGreen® Calculator was developed by MeetGreen® and was reviewed by a five member technical advisory committee (with backgrounds in the envi- ronmental and sustainability industries. Since its launch in 2004, MeetGreen® has been updated to align with aspects of the British Standard (BS 8901) for Sustainable Events and APEX/ASTM Green Meetings and Events Standards. MeetGreen® Evaluation Using the MeetGreen system the event earned a total score of “30%” (of a possible maximum of 100%). This score is commendable for an event held in a non-conference location in China. However it is below the average score of 44 for business meetings and events. The chart below displays MeetGreen performance for business events organised in Hong Kong and Singapore, and a UN Conference in New York. The chart highlights that while progress has been made by the event organisers there is much room for future improvement (please see recommendations). During the onsite audit, MCI Sustainability Services evaluated performance in nine MeetGreen® areas. The relative category scores can be observed in the top graph. The average event score for the Shanghai event is benchmarked against other sustainability focused events in the lower graph.

  • 8. 2011 SHANGHAI FASHION WEEK CLOSING EVENT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT PERFORMANCE TO SUSTAINABILITY OBJECTIVES Carbon Emissions Footprint The event produced a measurable total of 56.98 metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2), or an average of 0.05 tons CO2 per participant. In practical terms, this is equal to the total annual emissions of three US residents or eight Chinese inhabit- ants (Source: European Commission 2011 Global Emissions report). Carbon Emis- sions in China have increased by over 200% since 2000, and increased carbon responsibility from the Events sector is crucial for sustainable development. As expected, the biggest CO2 emissions impact is from air transport with over 71% of total event-related emissions. It is worth noting that long distance train transport produces approximately 10% of the emissions of flying. For example the average emissions of a flight from Barcelona to Madrid is 140kg CO2 while the emissions from the high speed Ave train it is only 14kg CO2 (Source. RENFE). Hence event organisers should seriously advocate a switch to train transport on short haul fly- ing routes. 150% Carbon Offset 88 Metric tons, or 150% of estimated carbon emissions related to the event, were offset through the purchase of carbon credits supplied by ClimateCare. ClimateCare is one of the longest established and leading environment-focused organisations in the carbon offset market. ClimateCare specialises in socially focused projects with tangible development impacts; renewable energy, energy ef- ficiency, improved cookstoves and clean water provision. Every project developed is designed to contribute towards fulfilling the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The carbon credits will be retired from ClimateCare’s annual portfolio of projects, which includes the Mani Hydroelectric Power project in Sichuan Province China. In the remote mountain village of Yonghong sits the Mani Hydro Power Station, on the banks of the Yinhe River, Sichuan Province. Flights; 40,19; 71% Venue; 3,10; 5% Food; 9,60; 17% Train; 0,58; 1% Car/Taxi/Limo; 3,31; 6% Water from the river is diverted steeply downhill via a 400m slope which surfaces at the power plant and is directed through two 7 MW water turbines. Production peaks during the rainy season (April to July), and on average produces 60GWh a year, the equivalent to supplying around 14,000 average homes in the UK with clean, renewable electricity. Mr Like Lazu, a local resident employed by the local county, told us how Mani has improved his family’s quality of living; “Our income has increased. We used to buy our clothes and salt with money from selling crops. All of our revenue came from selling bamboo shoots, potatoes and the corn my family planted. After I started working for Mani last year, I have had a monthly income of RMB 800, which is much higher than our regional average. We did not have a TV set before, but now we have one. Also, we have better clothes.” Carbon Emissions Total - 56.98 tons CO2
  • 9. 2011 SHANGHAI FASHION WEEK CLOSING EVENT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT KEY SUCCESSES AND LEARNINGS Raising Awareness Sustainability is very new to the Chinese Fashion and Events Industries. A noteworthy success of this year’s sus- tainability program was in raising awareness among the event organisers, suppliers and participants. The concept and challenges of environmental and social sustainability was discussed through a series of interviews with the venue, production company, sponsors and catering company. The growing importance of event sustainability was discussed and practical actions were identified to improve the event experience and results. To raise awareness among the 1200 Fashion show guests, Guy Bigwood, the Past-President of the Green Meetings Industry Council, together with Ann Wang, Co-Founder of We Impact and China’s 2012 spokesperson for Al Gore’s Reality Project 24 Hours of Reality, presented the Event Sustainability program during the opening of the Fashion Show. Importantly, the show organizers also conducted filmed interviews with various attendees to clearly understand their views and understanding about sustainability. This allowed attendees the opportunity to reflect on the ways in sustainability can enhance their guest experience and their lifestyles more generally. It also served the important purpose of showing that Chinese people are aware and engaged in the tackling climate change—something which is crucial for gaining traction within the lifestyle industry in China. Strong governmental support The challenges and successes of producing the Shanghai Fashion Week closing fashion show and after party ac- cording to international standards of sustainable events is described by the Event Director and Co-Founder of We Impact, Joseph Oliver: ‘Coming from five years of experience in organizing green events across the world, I found the challenges we all faced in China to be unique to the territory complex and ingrained. However, the receptivity to new ideas and deter- mination to learn was a crucial ally in making aspects of sustainability for the event succeed. We found in particular the governing bodies to be enthusiastic and supportive of integrating core environmental mitigation into the pro- ject. The two major challenges that I’d plan for next time would be extensive training of these issues and solutions with the contractors and clients and in-depth work with the supply chain for all procurement and hires.’
  • 10. 2011 SHANGHAI FASHION WEEK CLOSING EVENT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Consider the team The fashion industry has a fantastic opportunity to leverage its influence to advance sustainability for more responsible lifestyles. This responsibility should be in- corporated steadily not only into the design and manufacturing of the clothes, but also into fashion Shows. One particular risk area is caused through the use of vast quanti- ties of hairspray to prepare the models for the catwalk. Aside from the environmental waste cause by the pressurised cans, the contents bring health risk for the models and makeup artists. While the chronic health implications of hairspray ingredi- ents are somewhat controversial, many of the individual components have cancer- causing properties. In addition, inhalation of denatured alcohol, hydrofluorocarbons and other hairspray ingredients can lead to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Report In the event design phase, the organisers paid particular attention to rethinking how to reduce the amount of waste go- ing to the landfill. Wooden construction was eliminated, and 90 square meters of carpet and 160 square meters of curtain draping were collected for donation. The organisers were able to reuse the event staging, 30 sofa seating blocks and eight bar counters from a previous event saving a huge amount of materials and money through the reuse of perfectly good event production items that otherwise would’ve been thrown away. Catering waste was reduced by using hand passed ‘finger foods’, rather than full buffet service. China plates and glasses were used as opposed to disposable products. Car/Taxi/Limo 84% Flights 7% Train 4% Bus 5% Participant Travel By Transport Type Event Waste Total - 280kg Glass Recycled; 135; 48% Metal and Plastic Recycled; 10; 4% Landfill; 105; 37% Paper Recycled; 30; 11% The venue did not have a formal waste management sys- tem. Instead, the cleaning team recycled waste by sorting, packaging and measuring the different waste streams. Over 940kg of waste was diverted from the landfill for a com- mendable recycling/diversion rate of 63%. Electricity usage and cost was minimized through com- munication with the venue to switch off unused lights and ensuring the use of low voltage light bulbs. However, the electricity management system did not allow for full control of individual lighting zones. In total 3.1 kwh of energy were consumed at the venue from set up to break down. Location, Location, Location The selection of the event destination and location is one of the most important decisions in terms of sustainability. Carefully selecting a venue close to public transport links or within walking distance to event facilities can significantly reduce carbon emissions. This event was organised in the newly opened Shanghai In- ternational Fashion Centre. Prior to renovations; it was an old factory for cotton and textiles that had not been in operation for over one hundred years. While not yet a showcase of green features, the centre management demonstrated commitment to improving environmental standards. Aside from the energy and waste management processes already discussed, the venue collects and reuses “grey water” from rainfall to flush the toilets. The retrofit and continued use of old building in China is a laudable endeavour, especially when most develop- ment initiatives are created by levelling the existing site and building a totally new proposition on the site, causing a huge need for new materials and creating substantial waste. symptoms like low blood pressure, breath- ing difficulty, and irritation of the skin, eyes or lungs. Designers and Fashion stylists would be well advised to investigate the sustainability of hair products using a site such as www.goodguide.com, which evalu- ates environmental, societal and health risks for thousands of products.
  • 11. 2011 SHANGHAI FASHION WEEK CLOSING EVENT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Engaging Sponsors Selection and collaboration with sponsors can significantly increase awareness and engagement about sustainability. Lexus was one of the key sponsors for Shanghai Fashion Show and they launched their new CT Coupe in mainland Chi- na, one of the world’s largest automobile markets. As the world’s first full hybrid luxury compact car, sustainability was presented as a smart and stylish lifestyle choice – full of concepts of design, innovation and quality. This educates people away from the old concept of green as ‘hippy’, ‘crunchy’ or flowery. The benefit to Lexus was not only association of sustainability and fashion but also in a ground braking event for China. Train and Communicate All suppliers and partners showed an eagerness to implement more sustainable processes. If the organising agency would have had more time to organise the event, greater results could have been delivered. The Catering agency explained that more time would have allowed greater collaboration with local producers and would have resulted in the delivery of local, fresher and more healthier menu items. There is a lack of Chinese language training tools on sustainable events and by producing some of these tools there could be on-going training for the persons involved and template examples for the industry in China. The concept of the evening was E-Fashion: Ethical, Eco, and Exceptional. Swed- ish designer Camilla Wellton showcased her line of eco couture made from Oe- kotex certified Hemp-silk mixtures , Bamboo, organic cotton, and Modal (Fabric made out of Beech trees). To create a beautiful garment in harmony with the land is a distinct type of happi- ness for us and we believe, also for the wearer. - Camilla Wellton

  • 13. 2011 SHANGHAI FASHION WEEK CLOSING EVENT SUSTAINABILITY REPORT Recommendations for Improved Performance 1. Standards: Consider using the ISO20121 Sustainable Event Management System in the planning of the event, in conjunction with the APEX/ASTM Environmentally Sustain- able Meeting standards. The Global Reporting Initiative Event Organisers Supplement used for this report provides useful guidance for the transparent reporting of sustain- ability impacts and initiatives. Use of standards will reduce time investment, provide processes for goal setting and give practical suggestions for action. 2. Start early: Discussing sustainability from the first conversations with the event man- agement team, suppliers and partners will improve desired outcomes. 3. Teamwork: Create a ‘virtual sustainability team’ consisting of representatives from key suppliers to the organisation of future events. Meet regularly, set and track goals, share successes and failures, document results and learnings for future planning ef- forts. Ask them to collaborate and identify innovative ways to partner, and showcase their green and sustainable products. 4. Policy: Create a sustainability policy and include sustainability expectations when sourcing and contracting with suppliers such as the agencies, venues, production and catering companies. In the Request for Proposal, outline an expectation to select eco-certified organizations and show preference for those suppliers who have earned certification. Don’t forget to share your policy with your sponsors. 5. Contract: Include a requirement for environmental action in supplier requests and con- tracts. If you are going to measure include a clause requesting that suppliers provide measurement data. This information, which is important for event sustainability report- ing, is difficult to get from suppliers after an event. Don’t pay suppliers until the data is received. 6. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Consider waste in the design of the fashion show. Eliminate trash, innovate and create new ways to wow your audience. Make sure the venue has an efficient waste management program. During initial event planning discussions, identify a charitable organization to accept donations. 7. Wellness: Source a sponsor of organic cosmetics and hair products for make up and style products used by models. Ensure sufficient ventilation and good recy- cling/disposal of chemical products and packaging. 8. FLOSS: Work with catering teams to create a menu that is Fresh – Local – Organic – Seasonal and/or Sustainable. It is currently unrealistic to expect 100% local organic food. Balance menus with local conditions and prices. For example it is better to have a local fruit from with 100miles than fly in Mangos from an exotic location. 9. Showcase: Invite a sustainable fashion designer or community project/charity representative to participate in the show. Showcase their designs as an effective way to raise awareness and inspire more sustainable lifestyles. Introduce methods to communicate the aspects of the designs, which make them sustainable. Help audiences understand the value of any innovations in products selected. Consider creating a web based video channel where interested parties can ‘dig deeper’ into the topic with interviews with designers, models and stylists who are influencing sustainability in fashion. Accentuate the positive by highlighting the improve- ments to products, which do not represent added costs to business or consumer. 10. Ethical: In addition to featuring fair trade products, conduct a review of wages paid to event staff to ensure that they are competitive with the regional market. Work to ensure that the contracting policy and partner selection process is transparent and fair to all participating event suppliers. Adopt a Code of Responsible and Profes- sional Business Ethics, which outlines a zero tolerance for graft, harassment or illegal behaviour. The following recommendations are provided to help other Fashion shows organise more eco, ethical and exceptional events.
