CO2-Footprint

Lowering the footprint

What gets measured, gets moved. That’s why we aim to systematically map the emissions of congresses and events, set clear reduction paths, and compensate only where reduction is no longer possible, with climate neutrality as the horizon.

Event organisers and venues turn that ambition into daily practice. They make smarter energy choices, rethink menus and mobility, and look at every link in the chain to see where the next gram of CO₂ can be saved. Step by step, event by event, the footprint gets lighter.

Curious how that adds up in practice? The actions below show where the gains are made.
