Corporate Social Responsibility
Environmental protection and sustainable business practices are a very high priority at Messe Frankfurt. As a principle relating to the sustainability of a company’s activities, Corporate Social Responsibility is therefore an integral part of the corporate concept.
Messe Frankfurt is synonymous with profitable business, protecting resources and job security. By preserving this excellent reputation, we are confident of safeguarding the future of our business.
At Messe Frankfurt, CSR focuses on four areas in particular: Environment/Sustainability, Work/Social Responsibility, Education/Science and Culture/Design. In addition, many of the Group’s events worldwide address such topics as recycling, water management, waste disposal, energy efficiency and organic textiles.
United Nations Global Compact
Messe Frankfurt has officially documented its CSR work since June 2010 and is the first German trade fair organiser to participate in the United Nations Global Compact. As the world’s leading network of its kind, Global Compact is committed to sustainable business and to the ten principles that it has set out in the areas of human rights, labour standards, environmental protection and anti-corruption activities.
