As a trade fair organiser, we see ourselves as having a special responsibility to make our events (more) sustainable. Instead of greenwashing, we want to make a real contribution. Can we do this right away? No, but we are trying. Seriously. And if you have any ideas on how we can become more sustainable, please contact us using the form below.
We offset our CO2 emissions with UN Gold Standard® projects through the fairclimatefund.
We are currently supporting two projects that not only offset CO2, but also enable clean cooking for families in Burkina Faso and Ethiopia.
Here you can find out more about the fairclimatefund and the projects and offset CO2 yourself:
everwave cleans up the environment: Rubbish collection boats are used to prevent waste from entering the oceans. Artificial intelligence supports the clean-up missions to detect and analyse waste. The collected material is then recycled using environmentally friendly processes and the public is also sensitised to environmental issues. The startup organises long-term, holistic cleanup projects in countries such as Serbia, Thailand and Cambodia and ensures clean waters there. To date everwave already collected over 1 million tonnes of waste from rivers.

This year, we have planted 100 trees in North Rhine-Westphalia with Forest Foundation can plant.
It was important to us to also support projects in Germany and we look forward to planting even more trees in the future!

Labdoo is a global network of volunteers that enables children to participate digitally at home and abroad. The non-profit platform is open to all people worldwide to equip laptops or tablets that are no longer in use with powerful educational software. Flight sponsors bring IT donations to the destination in a CO2-neutral manner and return them for repair or recycling.
We would like to expand our trade fairs in all areas as sustainable as possible design. For the environment comes first the reduction of waste and CO2 emissions. Water and energy savings are important factors, as is the inclusion of Sustainability aspects in the procurement of materials. To this end, we are working on Solutions for sustainable arrival and departure of our exhibitors and visitors.
Note: The emissions from the trade fair in Hamburg are taken as an average value for all ITCS trade fairs for compensation purposes.
The reason for this is that Messe Hamburg is the furthest away from the ITCS office in Frankfurt.
The emission values for Hamburg are therefore maximum values, but are seen as a compensation quantity for all locations.
