Sustainability is our guiding principle: we are constantly working to make our events more resource-efficient, collaborating with value-oriented partners and creating a responsible experience for everyone. For us, sustainability is not a trend, but an ongoing process that we pursue consistently, continuously and constructively. We firmly believe that shared responsibility, transparency and respectful use of resources are the keys to successful events. Let's tackle this issue together—together we can create sustainable experiences that benefit people, the environment, and the economy.

Sustainability at NürnbergMesse as Venue of the edC
NürnbergMesse operates energy-efficient trade fair and exhibition spaces using modern building technology. It uses renewable energies and intelligent building control systems to reduce energy consumption. In terms of resource conservation, emphasis is placed on waste separation, recycling rates, and minimizing single-use materials. By working closely with regional partners and suppliers, efforts are made to shorten transport routes. Accessibility and inclusive event design enable equal participation for all attendees. Finally, transparent sustainability reports and regular audits ensure continuous improvement.
