SAVE THE DATE: 17th Edition of the Concrete Show South America | August 25 to 27, 2026 - 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM
We are committed to Concrete Show South America having a positive impact on people and the planet. We want to assist the entire construction community to improve their own sustainability by connecting people to the networks and knowledge they need to help tackle the big challenges of the future.
The Concrete Show, the construction industry's most complete event, recognizes the importance of sustainability in its activities. For us, sustainability is a commitment to the present and the future, reflecting our responsibility to contribute to an environmentally responsible, socially just and economically viable world.
The Concrete Show seeks to be a platform for discussing and tackling these challenges, inspiring participants to adopt sustainable practices in their business. By joining forces during events, we seek to strengthen a transformative movement in the industry, collectively building a sustainable future. We want the commitment of each participant not only as a response to current challenges, but as a collective construction of the future of the construction chain.
Embed sustainability into our brand by 2025 to inspire our sector to be more sustainable, promoting the achievement of the UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals):
Increase the number of individuals with relevant technical and vocational skills for employment, decent work, and entrepreneurship, both among youth and adults.
Expand infrastructure and modernize technology to provide modern and sustainable energy services for all in developing countries
Achieve higher levels of economic productivity through diversification, technological modernization, and innovation.
Achieve higher levels of economic productivity through diversification, technological modernization, and innovation.

Mobilize knowledge, expertise, technology, and financial resources to strengthen the global partnership for sustainable development. To encourage and promote effective partnerships between public, private, and civil society sectors, it is important to learn from the resource mobilization strategies of these partnerships
Our goal is to become carbon neutral and reduce waste by 50% by 2025. We also aim to help our customers reduce their carbon footprint. This is a steppingstone towards achieving zero waste and zero net carbon by 2030 or earlier:
By 2025, we will contribute at least 1% of our pre-tax income to community groups, advocate for diversity and inclusion, and create value for our host cities:
Better Stands is a program by Informa Markets, the organizer of Concrete Show, aimed at achieving zero waste from stands by 2030. The initiative encourages exhibiting companies to abandon the use of disposable (single-use) stands and prioritize the use of reusable structures.
By making their stand designs sustainable, builders and exhibitors will be recognized with Gold, Silver, and Bronze seals on their stands during Plástico Brasil.
Scheduled to be achieved by 2027, this level, in addition to including all elements of the Bronze level, requires that all structural objects, front and overhead signage, ceiling, and display stands be reusable.
This level involves the construction of stands where components, including walls, floors, furniture, equipment, and lighting, are 100% reusable, to be achieved at all Informa Markets events by next year.
Participation in the Better Stands program benefits the entire events market. The most important benefit is that adopting reusable structures will drastically reduce waste generation and, consequently, the environmental impact of events.
