ʻO ka moʻolelo kaiapuni o IMEX, ka hōʻikeʻike honua no ka huakaʻi huakaʻi, nā hālāwai, a me nā ʻoihana hanana, ua ʻike ʻia e ka Association of Event Organizers (AEO) ma Lākana i ka Pōʻalima (Iune 19) i ka wā i hoʻomaikaʻi nui ʻia e ke kino kālepa i kāna wā. gala makana makahiki. ʻO IMEX kekahi o nā hui ʻewalu i komo i loko o ka papa inoa pōkole no ka makana 2009 Sustainable Initiative of the Year Award, ʻo ia kekahi o 19 mau makana hanohano makahiki i hana ʻia e ka hui kālepa e hōʻike ana i nā ʻoihana i nā hōʻikeʻike kālepa a me nā hanana hanana mea kūʻai.
ʻIke ʻia ka AEO Sustainable Initiative Award i kahi papahana kūleʻa hoʻokahi a nānā i ke ʻano o ka hōʻemi ʻana i ka hopena o ke kaiapuni ma waena o kahi hanana a ʻoihana paha ma kahi o 12 mahina. Pono nā mea noi e hōʻike i kā lākou papahana kaiapuni i hana i kahi ʻokoʻa ma ke ʻano o ka hoʻomau, a me ka wehewehe ʻana i kona hopena i ka hana ʻoihana a me kāna waiwai kūʻai. Mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o IMEX i ka makahiki 2002, ua paʻa ka hōʻike kālepa i kahi kūlana ikaika i ka hopena o ke kaiapuni. Ua hoʻomau ʻo ia i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā hui kūleʻa loa me kahi lāʻau o nā mea hoʻolako e pili ana i ke kaiapuni, a me nā hoa hui e like me ka Green Meeting Industry Council.
I ka makahiki 2008, ua hoʻomaka nā mea hoʻonohonoho o ka hōʻikeʻike kālepa e hōʻemi i kona kapuaʻi kalapona (no kēlā me kēia ʻelele), a me ka ʻoki nui ʻana i ka hoʻopuka ʻana i ka ʻōpala me ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka hoʻohana ʻana a me ka hoʻokele. Ua alakaʻi mua nā mea hoʻonohonoho i kahi hoʻomaʻamaʻa benchmarking a ua kauoha ʻia i ke kūkākūkā kūʻokoʻa, ʻo The Carbon Consultancy, e hoʻokō i kahi loiloi kaiapuni holoʻokoʻa o ka ʻoihana, e komo pū ana ka loiloi nui o kāna mau huahana a me nā mea lawelawe. Pono kēia e kūkākūkā kikoʻī me nā mea kūkulu hale kūʻai, ukana, logistics a me nā hui mokulele, nā mea paʻi a me nā mea hoʻomaʻemaʻe hoʻomaʻemaʻe, me ka hui hoʻokele o Messe Frankfurt.
Ma hope o ka helu ʻana i ka nui o ka hoʻohana ʻana ma hope o IMEX 2007, ua hoʻomaka ka hui hoʻonohonoho i kahi papahana ʻōnaehana e hōʻemi i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka ikehu a me ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻana ma mua o IMEX 2008. Hoʻopili ʻia kēia mau mea i ka hoʻolālā ʻana a me ka hoʻomohala ʻana i kahi hōʻailona malihini kipa "ʻoihana mua" i hana ʻia mai loko mai o ka pepa i hana hou ʻia, ʻo ia hoʻi ka mea paʻa loa i ka wai. Hoʻopili ʻia nā hōʻailona i kahi laminate corn-starch a i kēia manawa hiki iā IMEX ke pale aku i ka hoʻohana ʻana a me ka hoʻopuka ʻana i 20,000 mau mea paʻa ʻilika. Ua hoʻokomo pū ʻia nā lanyard silika mea kanu biodegradable - he huahana ʻōpala o nā mea kanu - i ka makahiki aʻe. He 20 pakeneka ka emi ʻana o ka ʻōpala (e like me 34 tons) me ka piʻi ʻana o 7 pakeneka o ka ʻelele (malihini a me ka mea hōʻikeʻike) a he 6.3 pakeneka ka emi ʻana o ka hoʻokuʻu kalapona i kēlā me kēia malihini. Eia kekahi, 87 pakeneka o ka ʻōpala i hana hou ʻia me 40 mau toni pepa a me 32 mau ʻōpala. He kanaiwakūmālima pākēneka o ke kāpeti i hoʻohana ʻia ma IMEX hiki ke hana hou ʻia. Loaʻa i ka mea hoʻolako IMEX nā lako e mālama a hana iā ia i loko o nā pahu hōʻailona a me nā huahana polypropylene ʻē aʻe.
Hoʻokomo pū ʻo IMEX i nā wahie bio-diesel ma ka 20 pakeneka o kāna mau kaʻa kaʻa aloha me kahi kulekele anti-idling a ua lilo ʻo ia i hōʻike malihini kipa mua ma Messe Frankfurt e hoʻohana i ka mana hydroelectric. ʻO ka hoʻoikaika ʻana e paipai a hoʻoikaika i ka poʻe kūʻai i hoʻokipa ʻia e huakaʻi ma ke kaʻaahi, ua hoʻemi ʻia he 70 pakeneka o ka nui o nā huakaʻi i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e nā mea kūʻai aku i mālama ʻia e Kelemania a he 30 pakeneka ma hope o ka piʻi ʻana o ka nui o nā mea kūʻai mai ʻEulopa e holo ana i Frankfurt ma ke kaʻaahi.
Ma ke kamaʻilio ʻana e pili ana i ka IMEX i koho ʻia no ka makana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ray Bloom: "Ua hauʻoli wau i ka ʻike ʻia ʻana o kā mākou mau hana. ʻIke wau ʻaʻole mākou kū hoʻokahi i ka lawe nui ʻana i ka pilikia o ka hopena o ke kaiapuni i loko o ka ʻoihana hōʻikeʻike, a hauʻoli wau e haʻi aku iā ʻoe i kēia makahiki, ʻoi aku ma mua o ka wā ma mua, a ʻoiai nā pilikia o ka hoʻokele waiwai honua, ua pane maikaʻi loa kā mākou mau malihini a me nā mea hōʻike. kā mākou mau hana ʻōmaʻomaʻo. He manawa lōʻihi paha ia, akā ke manaʻo nei au i kekahi mau makahiki i ka wā e hiki mai ana, ʻaʻohe o mākou e pono e hōʻike i ka pilikia o ka hoʻemi ʻana i ke kalapona no ka mea he ʻano lua ia i nā ʻoihana a puni ka honua.

Ke holo nei ka hōʻike kālepa i kāna pūʻulu o nā makana ʻōmaʻomaʻo i kēlā me kēia makahiki, i hōʻike ʻia i ka wā IMEX.
