Every STEP counts 🛣 On the road to sustainable trade fairs Sustainability at trade fairs is a complex topic. We focus primarily on the environmental compatibility of trade fairs and congresses within our sphere of influence. Taking steps in the right direction takes commitment, time, and looks different depending on your company or organization. We are aware of that - which is why we operate on a grading system where companies have to achieve a minimum score to qualify for the Sustainable Exhibitor Award, but they don't have to reach 100%. All you have to do is fill out the survey and submit supporting documents. 🌱 Embodying the step-by-step mindset, our grading system ensures that every measure contributing to a greener future is acknowledged and appreciated. You don't have to fulfill every aspect included in the survey, since we consciously promote and reward individual measures, as these ultimately form a whole. Our conviction is that every step towards a sustainable future is important. This approach is also reflected by the two possible awards winners can receive - Silver and Gold. And even if your sustainability strategy for trade fairs does not quite reach the threshold needed for either of them yet, you still profit from taking part in the free survey. Get insights into what might be missing, so that you can succeed on the next try! Sustainability is a journey, and everybody that joins it contributes to making the trade fair world a greener place.

Make a difference - STEP by STEP! Creating a sustainable trade fair presence is built on a variety of different measures and takes time. Due to this complexity, every step toward greener trade fairs is important. STEP – Sustainable Trade Events Partnership acknowledges this and counts every move in the right direction for their Sustainable Exhibitor Award on a grading system.

By recognizing and celebrating sustainable leaders, we take crucial steps towards making trade fairs and exhibitions climate neutral. Our collective efforts are driving meaningful change, demonstrating that every step towards sustainability, no matter how small, contributes to a greener future."

Sustainability as the key to the future 🌍 Sustainability isn’t just a trend; it’s a cornerstone of our strategy. At Koelnmesse, we embrace innovative solutions to reduce our ecological footprint and create forward-looking events. 🌱 A recent study of German companies shows we’re on the right track: The consultancy ServiceValue and the F.A.Z. Institut have recognised us as a “Pioneer in Sustainability 2024” in the trade fair locations category. 🏆 This accolade was based on an AI-powered reputation analysis of approximately 15,000 companies across several hundred million online sources – including news sites, social media channels, blogs, and forums – between October 2022 and October 2024. 📊 Being a pioneer means taking responsibility and working hand in hand with our partners to develop sustainable solutions. After all, trade fairs are not just meeting places for industries – they can also be drivers of sustainable progress. 🤝 #koelnmesse #tradefairer #natureeventscommunity #nachhaltigemesse #sustainableevents #sustainabletradefair

🎤 On the future of sustainability in the trade fair industry Gaining new perspectives by having conversations with each other is a vital part of creating a more sustainable trade fair industry. We recently had a great interview with Ove Petersen, Co-Founder and CEO from GP JOULE Gruppe, one of our founding members, about sustainability at their company, in the industry and about their connection to STEP. 🌱 When asked how he thinks the topic of sustainability will develop in the trade fair industry, he shared: "Trade fairs are a mirror of society and the economy. They pick up on trends and build bridges to the future. The omnipresent topic of sustainability will therefore also receive increasing attention here and gain in importance overall. And that is a good thing. The origin of materials, their reusability, transportation and recycling will be topics against which organizers, suppliers, exhibitors and stand builders will be measured."

THE TIRE COLOGNE 2024: For a European Circular Economy ♻ Change starts in Cologne - Today, at the leading international trade fair THE TIRE COLOGNE, representatives of the tire industry signed a waste tire resolution of the Alliance for the Future of Tires (AZuR). Among other things, they demand that all tires used in the European Union be reused or recycled in the European Union. 📝 A lot is at stake: According to AZuR, around 3.5 million tons of scrap tires are produced annually in Europe alone, which is the equivalent of 560 scrap tires per minute. The signatories demand that as much of this as possible should be reused as raw material – sustainably, regionally and without long transport routes. 🌱 The AZuR network of over 70 companies, associations, NGOs and universities strives for a truly circular economy for tires. This "Circular Economy" is an important focus at this year's THE TIRE COLOGNE. 🔄 Thus, Koelnmesse Managing Director Oliver Frese emphasized the importance of the topic, the resolution and the trade fair itself: "THE TIRE COLOGNE leads the way when it comes to sustainability and today sends out a clear signal: THE TIRE COLOGNE is both a platform and a trailblazer for the industry. It paves the way for a sustainable transformation." 🗣️ 📸: Koelnmesse GmbH / Maxi Uellendahl #tradefairer #natureeventscommunity #nachhaltigemesse #sustainabletradefair #sustainableevents
