Sustainability isn’t just a label for us – it’s a growth process. Like a tree that grows new leaves with every decision we make.
Why we take action – with responsibility and foresight
As the organizer of a leading industrial trade fair and other events, we place great importance on continuously moving toward greater sustainability. We do so with determination and impact. We carefully evaluate every measure, whether large or small, for its potential to drive improvement. We stay in motion, working toward a future that lasts.
Sustainability is not a side topic for us. It is firmly embedded in our corporate strategy. As part of Mesago and the Messe Frankfurt Group, we take ecological, social, and economic responsibility seriously, both today and with a view to the future. Through our sustainability strategy, we define goals and actions that we regularly evaluate and further develop to actively shape a more sustainable future for our events.
How we create sustainable events
Acting sustainably – from travel to stand construction
Resource-saving rental stand
Our modular rental systems stand for one principle: better to reuse than to consume once. With modular construction, durable materials, and recyclable carpets, we’ve created a system that thinks like we do – flexible, efficient, and resource-conscious.
Digital over print
Wherever possible, we avoid printed materials and opt for digital solutions. Our exhibition guides are no longer printed but made available digitally through the SPS app. This helps us save paper, ink, and energy. We also enable paperless contact collection, eliminating the need for business cards.
Booth construction reimagined
Together with our booth construction partners, we are driving change. Our goal is to further develop Mesago’s own stand designs by largely avoiding foil printing, using rental furniture and walls, and choosing recyclable carpets.
Certified paper
When printed materials are unavoidable, we use only certified paper from responsible forestry. This ensures that even our printed products meet our sustainability standards.
Giveaways with purpose
Sustainability matters even in the little things: Our giveaways – like bamboo pens – are thoughtfully selected. We choose eco-friendly materials to show that sustainable thinking starts with the details.
Consciously chosen catering
Catering at the trade fair follows the principle of “regional, seasonal, and mindful.” Together with our partner Lehrieder and other local providers, we focus on short supply chains, thoughtful planning, and responsible food handling.
Reusable instead of disposable
We largely avoid disposable tableware at our events. Instead, we rely on reusable options and deposit systems on-site – for a cleaner trade fair experience with less waste.
Climate-friendly travel, no extra costs
Since January 2025, ticket prices in the Greater Nuremberg Transport Network (VGN) have increased – including those included in the SPS ticket. The SPS covers these additional costs, ensuring that visitors can continue to travel to the fair in an environmentally friendly way without paying more.
Not only regionally but also nationwide, you can travel to the SPS in a climate-friendly way with the DB Event Ticket. Your personal event ticket from Deutsche Bahn takes you to the SPS at a fixed nationwide price. You travel comfortably, flexibly and with a City Ticket included.
Partnership that makes the future possible
Sustainability is not a solo effort. That’s why we work closely with NürnbergMesse – a partner who shares our vision and actively helps shape sustainable event conditions. You can find more about NürnbergMesse’s sustainability strategy on their website.
