Sustainability strategy

We are a place where the future starts. We connect people from all over the world, provide platforms for the topics of the time and help ideas achieve a breakthrough. This is our big strength: pooling innovations, curating trends and paving the way for tomorrow’s players – at our homebase in Stockum and through our Global Portfolios in strong, emerging economic regions all over the world.

Messe Düsseldorf has the clear ambition to anchor sustainability in its core business and to drive it forward on all levels. This includes taking our entrepreneurial responsibility as an organiser, employer, regional economic factor and international multiplier serious at all times. On the corporate level we promote and support our employees, assist them in their personal and professional development and make a contribution to our location as a Corporate Citizen. On the event level we minimize the resource consumption of large events while maximizing the trade fair journey for our visitors at the same time. This is how we shape the future – with a clear attitude and a good feeling.

We are convinced that holistic thinking and acting form the basis for sustainable economic growth in harmony with the environment and society. This is why sustainability forms an integral part of our corporate strategy. By signing the position paper of the German exhibition companies and the global Net Zero Carbon Events Initiative we have committed ourselves to the targets of the Paris Climate Agreement. We, too, align our actions with the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees and fight for achieving these goals in strategic alliances. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations form our orientation framework to do so.
