Sempre has published an Environmental Policy Document. This policy is intended to inform conference organisers of SEMPRE’s position regarding environmental concerns. It also outlines the environmental responsibilities of those organising or hosting SEMPRE Conferences or Conferences in Association with SEMPRE.

SEMPRE recognises the intrinsic value of researchers meeting together to share research at conferences, and more specifically, the value of doing so face-to-face. The current climate crisis, however, demands a response from every individual, and requires changes in behaviour and established practices to minimise the adverse effects of sharing research. Accessibility should be maintained for those with disabilities who are unable to adapt to some of these changes; other changes will help facilitate equal access.
