Going Green Together
We believe that we all have a part to play in preserving our future for generations to come, both locally and across the globe.
At the EAS Congress 2025, we think everyone has a role to play in maintaining a healthy and sustainable ecosystem. And even small actions matter! Therefore, we’ve taken steps to make the Congress more environmentally friendly.
EAS 2025 and the Sustainable Development Goals
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs, also called the Global Goals) are 17 goals with 169 targets that all UN Member States have agreed to work toward achieving by 2030. They set out a plan for a world without poverty, hunger, and disease.
We at the EAS Congress 2054 want to contribute to the achievement of these objectives in our value chain. We support and work toward the following SDGs:
Contributions You Can Make as an EAS Congress 2025 Delegate:
As individuals and as a community, we can and should individually contribute to protecting the earth and its natural systems and resources and to sustaining the natural ecological balance of the ecosystem. Here is what we encourage you to do during the EAS 2025 Congress:
- Use the mobile app and the virtual platform (instead of printing) to inquire about the programme details
- Use more sustainable ways of traveling to and around Glasgow (take the train instead of a flight; ride a bike or walk, instead of getting a taxi).
- Opt for reusable mugs and bottles. We will make sure there are enough water fountains around the venue, don’t forget your bottle!
- Join the Carbon Offsetting Programme
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages
At the EAS Congress 2025, we firmly believe that well-being is not just a desirable outcome, but an essential core value that underpins all aspects of our conference. As professionals in the field of atherosclerosis, we have a moral responsibility to prioritize the well-being of our patients, colleagues, and society as a whole. By placing well-being at the forefront, we demonstrate our commitment to ethical principles that guide our work and promote the highest standard of care. This year we also have the EAS Yoga & Step Competition to make sure that we are offering our delegates a fun opportunity to take care of their physical well-being while attending the Congress.
Securing access to comprehensive and fair education while advocating for lifelong learning opportunities
With thousands of attendees at the EAS Congress, we champion the significance of healthcare and strive to uphold the utmost standards of clinical practice, alongside facilitating access to cutting-edge advancements in the field. Consequently, our primary objective centers on consistently refining the scientific programme to promote inclusivity, fostering active on-site engagement, and guaranteeing sustained educational opportunities for all participants. The EAS Congress Fellowship and Travel Grants programme provides younger, upcoming researchers a prestigious platform from which to launch or progress their international careers.
Additionally, we are raising awareness about sustainability initiatives in Glasgow and Scotland, supporting the venue (SEC) in their goal to becoming a Net Zero Campus by 2030.
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
All the EAS 2025 delegates are encouraged to use the Congress App as a reference point for the programme to avoid extra printing. Additionally don’t forget to bring your bottles – water fountains have been installed onsite. Reusable cups and water bottles are also offered to the delegates and visitors to the conferences taking place on the site. The Center has replaced the non-woven fabric for the formwork of the catering buffets with fabric covers. 25,000 meters of nonwovens are thus not thrown away. The coffee breaks are set up with porcelain and glass tableware to limit disposables.
Climate action: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts!
We will calculate the Carbon footprint of the event and will make a difference.
- Choose a more sustainable mode of transportation to the city – travel by train or share a car rather than flying.
- We minimize printing the materials and encourage you to use the digital app and digital brochures.
- We use E-Posters
