The fight against food waste is one of the industry’s main challenges. To tackle this, we have been working with the Food Bank since the very first edition. All food donated by exhibitors and the event itself is given to the Food Bank, thereby also helping in the fight against food poverty.

In 2025, we donated a total of 300 kg of food, and in 2024 we have tripled that figure, with 1,105 kg of various food products donated by exhibitors.

At Auténtica, we are deeply committed to the environment. In recent years, we have phased out paper at our event through digital initiatives such as the visitor’s guide on the Auténtica app, the exhibitor’s guide via QR codes, and the switch from paper schedules for corporate and networking activities to the use of tablets.

We always have recycling points, and there are bins for sorting waste located throughout the four halls of the Auténtica Premium Food.

Act Global and Think Local’ is our guiding principle.

Through the Auténtica Premium Food, we generate an economic impact of €11 million, but we know that economic growth is not possible unless it is sustainable. That is why we work exclusively with local suppliers and promote Seville’s cultural, gastronomic and architectural offerings, always in a sustainable manner.

Auténtica brings together visitors and exhibitors from across the Iberian Peninsula, but the aim is to generate a local impact to help the city, the region and Spain achieve sustainable development.

We are committed to inclusion and accessibility for all our attendees. Our event is fully accessible, and we have taken steps to ensure that everyone can enjoy the experience without barriers.

All sessions at the conference feature simultaneous interpretation, and priority seating is available for those with reduced mobility.
