Whether it’s a wedding or a major event – ​​every event can be made more sustainable. Responsible organizers and event managers are setting the course for sustainability in order to keep the ecological footprint as low as possible. Before, during or after the event. The adjustment screws include, for example, set design and decoration, event technology, catering, advertising materials, merchandise and give-aways, travel logistics and accommodation for participants and actors. Disposable stands that are individually designed and built for an exhibition can be designed for reuse and recycling.

Here too, successful transformation follows the guiding principles of Reflect, Rethink, Reduce, Reuse, Repair and Recycle. As a broker of sustainable content and solutions, the industry has an effective lever to address not only climate protection and environmental aspects but also social concerns such as accessibility, noise reduction and fair working conditions.

Organizers have the opportunity to focus on events that promote sustainable transformation in terms of content and, conversely, to avoid events that are obviously “unsustainable”. Comprehensive sustainability concepts are needed so that “green events” can fully exploit their positive impact and be credibly climate-neutral.

The industry includes, for example, trade fair, exhibition and congress organizers and event organizers.
