Championing and accelerating sustainable progress

At dmg events, we are on a mission to collaborate with our colleagues and partners to develop innovative solutions that will ensure a more sustainable future for our events and the industries we serve. Across our business, we are working to reduce Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions, with a long-term goal of reaching Net Zero by 2050.

Through robust measurement and transparent reporting, we are aligning with the Net Zero Carbon Events Pledge to meet bold, yet achievable, milestones. Working with our stakeholders, our plan focuses on five key areas.

Five key focus areas:

ENERGY

How our events can be powered efficient and use renewable energy sources.

PRODUCTION & WASTE

How we can redesign our events with a focus on using sustainable materials and eradicating waste.

FOOD & FOOD WASTE

How we source sustainable food options and eradicate food waste.

FREIGHT & LOGISTICS

How we can move goods efficiently to, from and around our show and transition to net zero emission logistics.

TRAVEL

How we can work with and influence partner in the travel sector to reduce and mitigate emissions from travel to events and from business travel generally.

Provide recycling bins to encourage proper waste sorting.
Go digital to cut paper waste or use recycled paper when printing.
Let the organizer recycle surplus printed materials.
