Scan Display wins international award

Exhibition, events and display specialist, Scan Display in Parktown North has received a 2013 Sustainable Development Award.

The organisation was selected as the winner of the best innovative environmental initiative award based on its approach to sustainability in a project which started from a parking lot and ended up as a comprehensive concept.

The award ceremony for the South African Climate Change Response Expo was hosted at COP17 and was presented by the Paris-based UFI, the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry.

The CCR Expo, as the project is referred to, implemented measures to manage procurement, waste and water and energy consumption in a responsible manner. A number of positive social benefits for

the local community were also built into the legacy of the expo.

Managing Director of Scan Display Justin Hawes said, “Scan Display was incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to work on this project. The Department of Environmental Affairs was the client, and they were committed to making the event environmentally and socially responsible.”

Hawes added, “I feel proudly South African, seeing that both awards went to South African companies. This demonstrates that our country is playing a leading role in promoting sustainability in the international exhibition industry”.
