Our key topics

As a responsible employer, we promote the well-being, performance, and motivation of our employees and actively contribute to our local community as a corporate citizen. We strengthen our future viability through targeted skills development and the promotion of diversity. Our flagship trade shows create opportunities for personal interactions and building new networks, and bring together industry stakeholders across the value chain.

We are committed to long-term growth and the continuous development of our business areas. In doing so, we create long-term opportunities for our partners, customers, and employees, and make a measurable contribution to the region’s economic development. Our company is economically successful, continuously invests its own funds in infrastructure development, and does not rely on subsidies. As a marketplace for innovation and a platform for current discourse, we bring together relevant stakeholders, provide a forum for future-oriented topics, and facilitate professional exchange and networking.

We have reduced our Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions and are working to further reduce our environmental impact and resource consumption. In doing so, we focus in particular on energy, mobility, material use, waste, and greenhouse gas emissions. We document key performance indicators, targets, and measures, and regularly review their progress.

Our activities focus, among other things, on energy efficiency, resource management, and the circular use of materials. We also take environmental considerations into account in the further development of our exhibition grounds and infrastructure.

We are committed to transparent operational and business practices and align them with applicable legal and regulatory requirements as well as our internal standards. We do not tolerate bribery or corruption, and we safeguard the data of our customers and employees. We work in partnership with our stakeholders throughout the value chain and incorporate criteria of environmental and social sustainability into our procurement processes. We create and continue to develop structures and processes to incorporate sustainability considerations into our business processes.
