Responsibility & Governance
Rules for us and our partners
Sustainability is usually reduced to materials and energy. The part that is harder to illustrate concerns people: our own teams, the partners who assemble at the trade show, and the suppliers who provide frames, fabrics and prints.
Commitment
For us, responsibility is part of doing business. That is why we support the cystic fibrosis foundation of the Luisenhospital Aachen, which is dedicated to research, education and support for those affected. At the same time, we are involved in a rainforest project through the industry association fwd:, helping to protect valuable ecosystems. Our choice of commitments follows a simple conviction: we support initiatives that make a positive social or ecological contribution and have a lasting impact.

Waste and recycling
At all locations, waste is separated into industrial waste, paper, wood, iron and aluminium. This is unspectacular and has a twofold effect: raw materials flow back into the recycling loop, and disposal costs fall. The disposal volume is recorded as part of the Corporate Carbon Footprint analysis.
Strong networks for sustainable live communication
As a partner of fwd: Servicegesellschaft, we benefit from a network of quality-assured suppliers and service providers from the trade show, exhibition and event industry. In this way, we strengthen a sustainable and reliable supply chain, short procurement routes and high quality standards in the delivery of our customer projects.
Sustainability does not arise from materials and processes alone. It also arises from strong partnerships, reliable supply chains and continuous exchange within our industry.
Co-initiator of the FAMAB Foundation
for sustainability and the promotion of young talent
As co-initiator and founding donor of the FAMAB Foundation, we have been working since 2013, together with the FAMAB Kommunikationsverband e.V., for greater sustainability, social responsibility and future viability in the event, trade show and communications industry. The foundation supports projects in the areas of nature and environmental protection, vocational training and talent development, as well as science and research. A particular focus is on reducing and offsetting the CO₂ emissions generated by the industry’s activities. Among the most significant initiatives are the FAMAB Forest in Panama, which regains valuable rainforest areas through reforestation while creating local jobs, and the nationwide education initiative “Sustainable Future Education”. It raises awareness of sustainable event management among young professionals at an early stage and provides the knowledge needed for resource-conserving and responsible action in the events industry.
Supporter of DigitalHUB Aachen
As an active member of DigitalHUB Aachen, we have supported the digital transformation of the region since the early days of the “Aachen digitalisiert!” initiative. Together with players from business, science and politics, we are committed to developing the Aachen region into a strong digital innovation hub and to strengthening its future viability in a sustainable way. In doing so, we benefit from the region’s special conditions, with its innovative mid-sized companies, international universities and a vibrant start-up scene. Through our own, already far-advanced digital transformation, we bring valuable experience into the network. DigitalHUB Aachen connects companies, start-ups, decision-makers and technology experts, creating the foundation for actively driving forward the digitalisation of the region and shaping the future together.
