Sustainability Issues at Messe Berlin
As an exhibition company, we are aware of our responsibility and have been consistently implementing measures for years to incorporate defined environmental, social, and governance goals into our business processes. We have recognized the need to embed environmental, economic, and social sustainability into our corporate strategy. With projects such as Berlin’s largest solar power plant, the modernization of our entire heating and cooling infrastructure, and the electrification of our vehicle fleet, we are consistently putting this into practice.
Climate protection is a central issue at Messe Berlin: As a state-owned enterprise, we are helping to implement Berlin’s climate targets set forth in the Berlin Climate Protection and Energy Transition Act (EWG Bln) by 2045.
All information on the goals and their implementation can be found here: Sustainability Strategy of Messe Berlin.
Sustainability Issues at CMS Berlin
Reduce, Re-Use, Recycle
Whether packaging and stand construction materials or leftover food - waste is unavoidable at trade shows. With innovative solution concepts, we want to successively reduce the amount of waste during CMS Berlin to a minimum.
- Material Separation & Recycling Loops: We separate recyclable materials and return them to the circular economy.
- ReUse Berlin Initiative: In cooperation with the Berlin Senate Administration, we participate in the city’s Zero-Waste initiative to reuse booth construction materials.
- Carpets and floor coverings: We install carpeted floors only where they are functionally necessary. Whenever possible, we use reusable Escolita carpet tiles and 100% recyclable Rewind carpets.
