"Our events serve as global platforms for the sustainable transformation of business and society. Sustainability is our guiding principle; it shapes our strategic direction and ensures our long-term viability.
As a driving force in the economy, we bear a responsibility – towards our partners, our region and the people who work and live here. We are constantly working to make our trade fair operations more energy-efficient and resource-friendly, step by step – from the expansion of our solar panel system to modular stand construction solutions."
Peter Ottmann, CEO NürnbergMesse Group
With BIOFACH, we established a platform for sustainable innovation back in 2001. Since then, we have been promoting environmental and social issues at our events and across our site. In 2014, we became the first trade fair organiser in Germany to be certified to ISO 50001 for energy and environmental management. Our Halls 3A and 3C have been awarded Platinum status under the DGNB standard. Measures such as our photovoltaic system with second-life battery storage, our recyclable ECO carpet and charging points for electric cars demonstrate how we are continuously improving energy efficiency and climate protection in our trade fair operations.
As part of a comprehensive materiality analysis at Group level, we have identified seven strategic focus areas. These reflect our holistic approach to sustainability and encompass environmental, social and governance aspects.
To ensure transparency in our actions, we have been producing an annual voluntary sustainability report as part of our annual report since 2021. Our Code of Conduct forms the basis of our actions.
We are part of various networks and initiatives – in line with UN Sustainable Development Goal 17, ‘Partnerships for the Goals’.
In our first sustainability magazine, we offer a comprehensive insight into our sustainability initiatives, milestones and our approach to sustainability. From energy supply to recyclable carpets, from innovative logistics concepts to benefits for our employees. Let yourself be inspired!
