Istanbul Jewelry Show bases its sustainability work on 3 fundamental points: helping the
jewelry sector by inspiring sustainable development, making the fair more environmentally
sensitive every single day, and organizing the fair by fulfilling social responsibilities. The fair
provides support to the designers, workshops, vocational high schools, and universities with
a view to underscoring the importance of sustainable development.
Several environmentally sensitive works draw attention to the significance of the topic in the
fair. In terms of reducing carbon emissions, during the event, details come to fore like
reducing the number of printed materials, recycling of name badges and fair carpets,
electricity saving by using LED technology, holding visitor queries online with the help of a
tablet with a view to reducing the use of papers, and ensuring the transfer of participants
and visitors to the fair venue via mass transportation to minimize CO2 emissions.
98 tons of wastes were collected in the recently held fair of October 2022 and were readied
for recycling. The use of plastics in the beverage-catering sections at the exhibition space
was minimized and was transferred to the reusable products. The food not used during the
fair was sorted out to be donated to animal shelters.
