Our Values

What we’re doing to make our event (and planet) a little greener and give back to the local community.

Our dedication to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles encompasses a wide array of initiatives that span before, during, and after The NGA Show, as well as within our own organization, Clarion Events. This commitment is evident in our long-standing focus on diversity, the implementation of our attendee code of conduct, our on-site philanthropic endeavors like Clarion Cares, and our ongoing efforts to reduce waste at our events. We wholeheartedly embrace ESG principles and actively incorporate them into all facets of our operations and events. Our aim is to minimize our environmental impact, promote inclusivity and diversity, and contribute positively to the well-being of local communities.

ENVIRONMENTAL

Our team and vendors are committed to reducing environmental impacts, both now and in the future, at every NGA Show. We proactively seek ways to minimize the environmental footprint of our events by implementing sustainable practices in logistics, transportation, venue energy sources, waste management, food and beverage waste, and the materials displayed throughout the event. Additionally, we provide attendees and exhibitors with the opportunity to purchase carbon offsets to reduce their own carbon emissions. 

SUSTAINABILITY

At The NGA Show, our vision is to craft an impactful voyage rooted in sustainability at each stage. We are committed to fostering significant change, hand in hand with our esteemed partners, suppliers, venues, and devoted team members. Together, we are molding a more sustainable and thriving tomorrow from beginning to end.

SOCIAL

In partnership with our valued attendees, The NGA Show is committed to enriching the communities that host our events. We collaborate with local organizations, universities, and international nonprofits to create enduring impact. Throughout the year, The NGA Show actively seeks to cultivate lasting value and provide support to communities far and wide.

CLARION CARES

Clarion understands the important role communities play in helping host our live events, and we want to return the favor to global and local communities that host and are touched by our live events.
