Winners of the Sustainable Booth Award 2023

The Brazilian Franchising Association and Informa Markets announced the winners of the Sustainable Booth Award at the 30th ABF Franchising Expo. The awardees were AlphaGraphics, Kumon, and Santander Getnet, representing the Micro, Small, and Medium categories respectively. Certificates were presented by ABF President Tom Moreira Leite, ABF Vice President Adriana Auriemo, and Hermano Junior, Business Director of Informa Markets.

In 2023, the funds that would have been used to purchase trophies were fully donated in the form of food baskets to the "Projeto Quebrada Alimentada," which distributes food to families in vulnerable situations in the North region of São Paulo.

 

Congratulations to all the franchising brands that won the ABF Franchising Expo Sustainable Booth Award in its 11th edition! It's encouraging to see more and more companies in the sector adopting good socio-environmental practices and committing to environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG). The evaluation of criteria such as reducing water and electricity consumption, booth recyclability, food waste, and greenhouse gas emissions control demonstrates a real commitment to sustainability.

These practices are important not only for the environment but also for the image and reputation of the brands. Consumers are increasingly aware and value companies that demonstrate social and environmental responsibility. By adopting sustainable measures, franchising brands not only contribute to a more sustainable future but also stand out in the market and attract consumers who share these values.

It is hoped that this trend of incorporating sustainability into franchising will continue to grow, as it is an important step towards a more responsible and conscious business model. In addition to the brands, we would like to congratulate the booth builders of the award-winning booths. The success of a sustainable booth would not be possible without the expertise and commitment of the booth builders involved. Creating booths that meet the sustainability criteria required by the ABF Franchising Expo Award is a challenge and requires specific knowledge in terms of materials, design, and environmentally responsible practices.
