BenQ Group became the first and only company participant to receive “ISO 20121:2012, Event sustainability management systems — Requirements with guidance for use” certification at COMPUTEX in 2023.
At COMPUTEX 2024, the Group will once again take on the challenge of ISO 20121, committed to achieving the vision of carbon inventory and zero-waste upholstery. This will result in the creation of an environmental, social and governance (ESG)-informed green expo design that is low-carbon and zero-waste.

At the same time, by leveraging the collective strength of the Group’s twenty-plus companies, the sustainable development goals (SDGs) have been integrated into their corresponding exhibition areas, resulting in a high digitalized venue with a 90% paperless rate and 50% sustainable business solutions, presenting the 2.0 Green Expo through collaborative efforts.
The ISO 20121 was first implemented at the London Olympics in 2012, providing a sustainable framework for event management and motivation with sustainability as the primary consideration. BenQ Group once again takes on the ISO 20121 challenge, ensuring that the large-scale exhibition will not have a negative impact on the environment while also boosting business and providing a green miracle for its patrons.
The Green Travel Guide and “1.5° C- ALIGNED Menu” further implement carbon reduction at the exhibition
Environmentally, the exhibition venue is designed with simple, sustainable green building materials, and no waste related to upholstery is produced after the show. In the meantime, 90% of the publicity is generated digitally, 100% tableware is reusable and extra steps are taken to reduce the event’s negative environmental impact. Concerning social responsibility, the company collaborates with affiliated businesses to advance green transformation initiatives, raise public awareness of environmental issues, support education digitization, and promote eco-friendly products. In terms of governance, the Group has established green procurement and economic value creation targets, resulting in direct economic benefits.
In addition, the Group has published the “2024 COMPUTEX Taipei Green Travel Guide” specifically to offer eco-friendly travel and transportation choices. Customers are invited to participate in the grand event, which incorporates the concept of green sustainability into every facet of the exhibition. To conserve carbon budget during the exhibition period, staff are provided with delicious, nutritious, and ecologically friendly vegetarian set meals, which named “1.5° C- ALIGNED Menu” in COP28.
