SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
CSR activity: Smile Bright, Brush Right!
We are excited to share the CSR activity that will be implemented during EAPD 2024, aimed at promoting good oral hygiene among children. We believe this activity will be both fun and engaging while delivering a valuable message about the importance of dental care.

SUSTAINABILITY
Healthy Planet, Healthy Smiles
At EAPD 2024, we are committed to promoting sustainability in all aspects of our congress. We are proud to host our event in Gothenburg, a city renowned for its leadership in sustainability and recipient of numerous awards for its green initiatives.
In line with our commitment to sustainability, we have implemented several measures to minimize the environmental impact of our congress:
Transportation: We encouraged delegates to use the train instead of flying whenever possible. Trains offer a more environmentally friendly mode of transportation, reducing our collective carbon footprint.
Venue: Our congress venue, Gothia Towers, adheres to stringent sustainability practices, including energy efficiency, waste reduction, and the use of eco-friendly materials.
Materials: We minimized the use of single-use plastics and encouraged the use of recyclable and biodegradable materials throughout the event.
Local Sourcing: Whenever possible, we sourced food, beverages, and materials from local suppliers to support the local economy and reduce transportation emissions.
Digital Solutions: We prioritized digital solutions over printed materials to reduce paper waste. The congress program, abstracts, and other materials will be available electronically.
By implementing these measures, we strive to make EAPD 2024 a model of sustainability in action. We appreciate your cooperation and support in these efforts as we work together to create a greener future.
Thank you for your commitment to sustainability. We look forward to welcoming you to Gothenburg and to a successful and environmentally responsible congress.
