To this end, we have developed a sustainability strategy tailored to the trade fair industry.
Role model function
At a time when sustainability and environmental awareness are crucial, we are committed to taking responsibility for a greener future. We firmly believe that the logistics industry has a key role to play in protecting our environment. That is why we are calling on all exhibitors and visitors to join us in this important cause. Together we can develop innovative solutions, use resources efficiently and drive sustainable change in the transportation and logistics industry. Join us in setting the course for an environmentally friendly and sustainable logistics industry!
Sustainability is not optional, it is a necessity. transport logistic is aware of its role model function as the leading platform for the transport and logistics industry. We invite our exhibitors and visitors to join us at transport logistic with a wide range of offers to become active on the path to greater sustainability.
The measures taken at transport logistic.
As the leading international trade fair for logistics, mobility, IT and supply chain management, we want to take responsibility and express the principle of sustainability in our actions. We want to set a good example and make transport logistic more sustainable in a continuous process.
Our priorities:
- We do without aisle carpets and thus conserve resources.
- Our special surfaces are made from sustainable, resource-saving materials.
- From transport logistic 2025, public transport will again be included in all exhibitor passes and visitor tickets for the first time. Thanks to the direct connection to public transport, we are enabling and promoting an environmentally friendly journey.
- You can recharge your electric vehicle at one of our 110 charging stations on the exhibition grounds.
- Sustainable waste disposal: We take the waste resulting from construction and dismantling to be recycled as commercial waste. Recyclable materials can thus be fed back into the economic cycle.
- We are reducing our print runs and continuously optimizing our digital advertising materials. For example, we no longer print a trade fair catalog for the trade fair, but only a much smaller visitor planner.
- If we do use printed advertising material, we only use FSC-certified environmental paper.
- We consciously work with printing companies that are committed to the principle of sustainability.
- In cooperation with our partner myclimatewe offer the opportunity to make a contribution to climate protection for the CO2 emissions caused by traveling to and attending the trade fair.
- For our catering partners, the focus is on regional and seasonal sourcing and sustainable use of resources. They are actively committed to combating food waste and offer a comprehensive range of vegan and vegetarian dishes.
