Green Meeting

Sustainability at the German Environmental Award Ceremony

The guidelines published by the Federal Ministry for the Environment serve as a basis for this. All partners and contractors are actively involved in the continuous improvement of environmentally compatible event implementation.

Sustainable event technology

When selecting our partners for technical implementation, we only choose companies that operate in an especially sustainable manner. Our two partners LS and fischerAppelt are particularly strong in this respect.

Our partners have clear sustainability guidelines and are users of the German Sustainability Code. From trained employees and active waste avoidance to careful use of materials – our partners are experts in the field of sustainable event technology.

  • The stage set and the stage carpet are designed for reuse and have been in use for years already
  • All the lighting is provided exclusively by efficient LED spotlights and only certified green electricity is used for the entire event
  • All textiles and fabric objects used are certified free of harmful substances, durable and recyclable after use
  • All wood-based materials used are certified with the BLUE ANGEL, are low-emission and come from sustainable forestry (RAL-ZU 76)
  • The entire transport volume from stage to technical equipment is handled using reusable packaging such as flight cases, transport boxes or pallet boxes. Disposable packaging is not used
  • All furniture, components and decorative objects have a long service life of at least six events and, just like the electronics we use, are repaired if necessary
  • The use of paper is minimized and only recycled paper certified with the BLUE ANGEL is used
