Sustainability at FEIMEC
FEIMEC, the sector's official exhibition and the most important event for the machinery and equipment industry in Latin America, recognizes the importance of sustainability in its initiatives. For us, sustainability represents a commitment to both the present and the future, highlighting our responsibility to promote an environmentally responsible, socially equitable and economically viable world.
In the machinery and equipment industry, where movement and transportation are key, we face significant sustainability challenges, including the carbon emissions associated with logistics operations. The scenario also includes energy efficiency, more sustainable raw materials and the integration of professionals and technologies in the sector. However, we view these challenges as opportunities to innovate, seek efficient solutions, and promote more sustainable practices.
FEIMEC aims to be a platform to discuss and address these challenges and inspire participants to adopt sustainable practices. By collaborating during events, we aim to enhance a transformative movement in the industry, collectively constructing a sustainable future. We want each participant's commitment to be not just a response to current challenges, but a collective building of a sustainable future.
As part of our commitment, we focus on three sustainability pillars
To increase the number of youth and adults with job-relevant skills, including technical and vocational skills, FEIMEC provides opportunities for improvement and training through lectures, demonstrations, and networking with experts.
FEIMEC promotes the educational development of the public entering the labor market of the industry, including the promotion of caravans of educational institutions to expand access to the fair and its educational content.
With an emphasis on education, highlight the attractions:
Parque de Ideias: space for the presentation of lectures on industry, technology, efficiency and sustainability, as well as an exhibition area for universities and partner institutions. https://www.feimec.com.br/pt/atracoes/parqueideias.html
