Environmental Pledge

The SSMB pledges to take action to reduce the environmental impact of ICMB XII, and to create a more socially responsible community.

  • We will minimize our use of single-use plastics in the office, and at dining and social events. Whenever possible, we will choose reusable or compostable products. We encourage the use of reusable water bottles and travel mugs.
  • We will have recycling containers available at all events to recycle items such as paper, bottles, and cans.
  • We will limit printing of paper items, where possible.

What You Can Do

We encourage travelers to the conference to:

  • When arriving by air, use public transit, a shared van service, or arrange carpools with other travelers instead of using a personal rental car.
  • Bring reusable items such as cups, mugs, straws, and water bottles to limit the need for disposable items.
  • Offset your travel-related carbon usage. There are many options to purchase carbon offset credits.
