our tool for lower emissions.

You can only control what you can measure. We use our CO₂ calculator to determine the emissions of projects in detail. By using sustainable materials, a higher reuse rate and short transport routes, we reduce the impact of live communication on the climate.

In our SUSTAIN+ABILITES workshops, we impart valuable expertise. We analyse the status quo and work together to develop an individual roadmap with measures to make your live communication more sustainable in the future.

**be curious**
**our Workshops**
In our Sustain+Abilities workshops, for example, we calculate the carbon footprint of an exhibition stand or work out the key levers that can be used to achieve greater sustainability in live communication

this is how we save resources,

to actively protect our environment and our climate.

+ Modularity

We work with a modular aluminium stand construction system. It can be used again and again and is lightweight, which means fewer emissions during transport. The system enables a variety of customised floor plans and room concepts.

+ waste management

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle: Standardized planning, the use of rental furniture, the storage of exhibition stands for reuse and a high recycling rate help us to avoid waste in the long term.

+ circular economy

Together with suppliers, we want to close value chains. We use recycled materials, utilize single-origin products, increase the useful life, repair and take care of reuse.

+ PARTNERships

Through long-term business relationships, we create predictability, improve working conditions and increase economic sustainability. A Code of Conduct ensures responsible behaviour along our supply chain in the future.

Short distances for more sustainability:

When selecting our service partners, we focus on regionality and strategic proximity to our warehouse logistics.

We favour sustainable solutions and are committed to working in partnership to reduce emissions in our supply chain.

Scope 1–3

2023

Following an initial survey in 2015, we have been calculating our carbon footprint in Scope 1-3 since 2022. On this basis, we can specifically reduce the impact of our business activities on the climate. We want to become climate-neutral by 2050.

Where we cannot avoid or reduce CO₂ emissions, we fully offset them by investing in a high-quality climate protection project.
