Sustainability at IPVS 2025
Going Green Together
At IPVS 2025, we are deeply committed to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals and taking meaningful actions to minimize our environmental impact. For IPVS 2025 in Bangkok, we are collaborating with the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) to improve the event’s environmental footprint and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Our focus spans across key areas such as waste, food, and energy management, with carefully designed initiatives before, during, and after the event. We are dedicated to informing IPVS participants, exhibitors, and sponsors about sustainable practices and empowering them to implement these changes in their own communities.
Together, let’s advance awareness of HPV-preventable cancers and diseases, build a healthier world, and promote equity in HPV research, prevention, innovation, and care.
IPVS 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 IPVS 2025 want to contribute to the achievement of these objectives in our value chain. We support and work toward the following SDGs:
