Sustainability icon of NürnbergMesse: The slogan Sustainability is our compass is written on an orange circle with the NürnbergMesse favicon on another circle on the top right
As an organizer, NürnbergMesse offers many platforms for innovation. At the same time, we are working to develop our trade fair operations further – from the responsible delivery of our events to our own corporate conduct.
Our events are global platforms for sustainable innovation.
Peter Ottmann, CEO NürnbergMesse

Measures for responsible events

We are working to reduce the footprint of our service offerings. Among other things, we rely on reusable, modular aluminum trade fair stands, catering with local food, reusable tableware and a recycling system. With our EV charging stations, discounted train tickets and free public transport, we make climate-conscious travel easier.

Sustainability at NürnbergMesse

As the first trade fair company in Germany, we had our energy management certified to ISO 50001 back in 2014, and our environmental management is certified to ISO 14001. Our halls 3A and 3C have also been awarded DGNB Platinum status. Through measures such as our photovoltaic system with second-life battery storage and our recyclable ECO carpet, we make a measurable contribution to reducing our environmental impact. We document our measures each year in a voluntary sustainability report.
