The Sustainable Event Report demonstrates the work we do at IMEX Frankfurt both in the run up to and on site at the show. 

IMEX Frankfurt designed the report to give you the practical information you need to make changes to your own events and enhance your conversations with colleagues and clients. Having the right knowledge to hand is key to making meaningful progress, according to research—isla’s survey at IMEX America last year showed that 42% believed client education would help improve sustainability outcomes.

You'll notice there are many first-time initiatives in this report. That’s because we build on what’s gone well and are open to experimenting with new ideas. Equally, we’ve highlighted the areas we can improve. Producing sustainable events is a gradual, but continuous, process.

This report is just one element of IMEX Frankfurt wider Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) 2024 was the world's hottest strategy—we’re challenging ourselves and others to deliver as much positive social and economic impact as possible for the high environmental cost of international travel.

Business events can support climate protection by bringing together a community in one place, at one time—thereby saving on multiple journeys. One day spent at a trade show can save more than five individual trips, according to recent research by the Association of the German Trade Fair Industry (AUMA).

Change can’t be delivered in isolation, however, and collaborating with partners, colleagues and friends across the industry is paramount.

We hope you'll find information and inspiration here for your own events.
