to overview
Purac was awarded the 'Green exhibitor award' for the greenest
stand at the Food Ingredients Europe exhibition. The Green
exhibitor award was awarded to 'the exhibitor who has demonstrated
innovative efforts to prevent and reduce the environmental impacts
of their exhibition stand at FIE'.
Our efforts included the use of energy efficient lightbulbs,
providing only fair trade, organic coffee and tea, using non-toxic
materials for the booth itself, having an almost paperless booth
where information was provided on biodegradable USB sticks made
from PLA. Also,
coffee and tea were served in reusable crockery and softdrinks in
biodegradable cups. Customers and relations were invited
using only electronic invitations and even our dishwasher on the
stand used environmentally friendly soap. Above all, our
products are made from renewable resources and contribute to the
sustainability goals of our customers.
The exhibition ran from 17th - 19th November 2009 and we used this
opportunity to showcase our latest innovations in natural
preservation and mineral fortification. The FIE was also the
platform for Purac to launch our new corporate identity, including
a new logo and new tagline 'pure by nature'.
This new identity was created in order to further reinforce our
commitment to natural business solutions, based on pure, natural
ingredients and processes, such as fermentation and an open and
transparent way of working with our customers. To win the
Green exhibitor award at the launch of our new identity was the
ultimate reward and is a fantastic recognition of our efforts in
this field.
