Certified Zero-Waste Events

The SCS Zero Waste Standard has officially certified two Dell Technologies Forum events in India, making them the first globally recognized zero-waste events under this certification. Organized by Kestone Global with support from Saahas Zero Waste, these events in Mumbai and Bangalore achieved impressive waste diversion rates of 98.64% and 92.88%, respectively. The initiative set a new benchmark for sustainable event management by integrating recycling, composting, and waste-to-energy solutions.

The events underwent rigorous third-party verification to achieve certification, including on-site audits to confirm successful waste diversion from landfills. The efforts included reusable event equipment, sorting teams, and clearly marked recycling and compost bins. This approach demonstrates how large-scale events can reduce environmental impact while maintaining high-quality experiences.

The SCS Zero Waste Standard aims to encourage sustainable waste management across industries. Dell Technologies' commitment to sustainability through waste reduction serves as a model for other organizations looking to integrate circular economy principles into their operations and events.
