About the foundation
The FESPA Foundation exists to combine waste reduction efforts with meaningful impact for young people living in challenging circumstances.
Building on the success of its past programs, the FESPA Foundation is broadening its impact to address global challenges while empowering print businesses to thrive in a changing world.
Mission and Vision
The mission of the FESPA Foundation is to:
- Promote sustainability in the print industry: Encourage practices that reduce waste and environmental impact while creating long-term value for communities
- Inspire and educate: Provide knowledge, resources, and material to schools, fostering education and better learning environments.
- Empower underserved communities: Use the power of print to support schools, local communities, and initiatives that drive positive change globally
This mission aligns with our ISO 20121 Sustainable Event Management System standards, focusing on reducing event waste and maximizing the positive legacy of trade shows like FESPA 2025 in Berlin and beyond. Neil Felton, CEO of FESPA, and his team will ensure, that the sustainable event management system (SEMS) meets the requirements of the business, the requirements of ISO 20121 and supports our ongoing commitment to continuous improvement in sustainable event management performance.
With these guiding principles, the FESPA Foundation aims to create a worldwide network of print professionals and stakeholders united by a shared commitment to sustainability and community well-being.
