Sustainability Statement 

Sustainability is at the forefront of everything we do at The Future of Protein Production

The Future of Protein Production is designed to serve the alternative protein industry. Our events present an unbiased opportunity to explore and discuss this highly complex issue with world-leading experts and showcase a wide range of solutions that will have a positive impact through abolishing animal cruelty, reducing global pollution and improving human health.

The most effective method for an event to minimize its environmental footprint is by offering a plant-based menu. That's the reason everything at FPP is plant-based, allowing all our attendees to enjoy the available food without concern for its environmental or ethical implications.

From planning to execution we’re committed to reducing the impact of our events, which is why we’re proud to partner with industry leading platforms to help minimize our emissions.

Sustainability Partners

Future-Proof Group Media works with Ecologi, a leading emissions measurement platform. This partnership allows us to measure and report our carbon emissions, reduce them where possible and offset anything leftover though certified  local and global offsetting projects approved by Ecologi's team of experts.

1% of every ticket sold is contributed to Stripe's CO2 Removal Technology Project. We are also a proud member of 1% For The Planet, and contribute another 1% of our revenue to tackling our planet's most pressing environmental issues.

Goodwings is a B Corp hotel booking platform that makes it easy and affordable for businesses to track their travel emissions, including flights, transfers, hotels and meals, providing them with real time emissions data for climate reporting. As well as easy tracking simply by booking a hotel, Goodwings uses the commissions from hotel bookings to invest in plant-based jet fuel on our behalf - at no extra cost to our attendees.
