HOSTING THE WORLD. Sustainably

Sustainability is one of the most pressing global challenges of our time, one that we can only tackle together. As an exhibition organiser, we are mindful of our responsibility and have been consistently implementing measures for many years to ensure that defined environmental, social and governance objectives are integrated into our business processes.

We have recognised the need to embed environmental, economic and social sustainability within our corporate strategy. We are consistently putting this into practice through projects such as Berlin’s largest solar power plant, the modernisation of our entire heating and cooling infrastructure, and the electrification of our vehicle fleet.

Our aim is to transform Messe Berlin in a socially just and economically efficient manner by 2040. Climate protection is a key objective for Messe Berlin: as a state-owned enterprise, we are helping to implement  Berlin’s climate targets set out in the Berlin Climate Protection and Energy Transition Act (EWG Bln) by 2045.  

Since 2025, we have been compiling a comprehensive greenhouse gas inventory in accordance with the internationally recognised Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol) to systematically analyse emissions and derive effective reduction measures. On this basis, we will develop a company-specific climate protection strategy by the end of 2026, setting out concrete measures and reduction targets. We will continuously measure and monitor our progress.

We are developing and implementing measures as our contribution to the future – as a global host.
