* Preliminary figures for 2023

The Group’s strategic orientation is determined by its sustainable business practices. The Sustainability Board drives forward the transformation to a sustainable trade fair sector with input from different disciplines. Both long-term goals and short- and medium-term milestones are set out in a sustainability target architecture. Messe Frankfurt decided of its own accord to introduce environmental management system EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme). The EMAS validation, which also meets the requirements of environmental management norm ISO 14001, was given in November 2023. In recognition of our efforts to create a sustainable event business, we received the AEO Excellence Award 2023 in the Best Sustainability Initiative category, having already obtained an ESG rating (Environmental, Social, Governance) in 2022. Since 2010, Messe Frankfurt has geared its sustainable business practices towards the ten principles of the UN Global Compact and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. The company has also committed itself to the Charter of Diversity and the fairpflichtet sustainability code. Messe Frankfurt supports the sustainability initiatives of industry associations AUMA and UFI and of the Joint Meetings Industry Council (JMIC) in their efforts to organise climate-neutral events.
