RX is an active and dedicated driver of sustainability efforts. At BEX Asia, we strive to reduce our carbon emissions and improve waste management. Given the complex nature of our supply chain and the emissions associated with organising an exhibition, it is only by working together that we will be able to reduce our impact on our environment. We encourage you to embark on this journey with us.

The RX Journey to Net Zero
RX is a founding members of the Net Zero Carbon Events Pledge to make our company, our shows and the wider events industry net zero. We commit to being Net Zero by 2040 and to make a 50% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
In 2023, we published our pathway to net zero, setting out our reduction strategy with key milestones for all our shows. Given the complex nature of our supply chain and the emissions associated with a show, it is only by working together as an industry that we will be able to reduce our impact. We are building a company of net zero heroes to take action and ensure a sustainable future.
