Sustainable Event Management

We continuously improve the footprint of our services. To achieve this, we invest in our facilities and collaborate with service partners who share our values regarding the environment and society. Together, we create offerings and design our events to be a responsible experience – from resource-saving stand construction solutions to catering with local food, reusable dishes, and recycling systems. With our charging stations for electric cars and other measures, we support sustainable travel.
