In this way, the company is making an active contribution to using resources responsibly and continuously reducing CO2 emissions. The goal is to achieve climate neutrality (net zero) by 2035.
Designing live experiences sustainably
The Board of Directors is convinced that live experiences at events such as trade shows, events and congresses will continue to be of great importance. The pent-up demand for face-to-face encounters continues unabated in the wake of the pandemic. It is therefore all the more important to set an example in the sustainability of events and to actively shape this process. Chairman of the Board of Directors Andreas Messerli and Managing Director Hugo Keller are convinced that customers and employees will increasingly judge companies by how sustainably they work and act.
