As a trade fair organiser, we see it as our 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 start-up organises long-term, holistic cleanup projects in countries such as Serbia, Thailand and Cambodia, where it ensures clean waters. To date everwave already collected over 1 million tonnes of waste from rivers.

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

Labdoo is a worldwide network volunteer Helpers, the Children's digital participation at home and abroad makes it possible. The non-profit platform is open to all people worldwide to Laptops or tablets that are no longer in use with powerful educational software. Flight sponsors bring IT donations CO2-neutral on site and take them back 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 well as 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 Hamburg as a trade fair location is the furthest away from the ITCS office in Frankfurt. Compared to all other trade fair locations, we have to travel the longest distance to Hamburg to get to the trade fair.
The emission values for Hamburg are therefore maximum values, but are seen as a compensation quantity for all locations.
What does sustainability mean in the tech industry?
This is precisely the question we ask ourselves when it comes to Green IT.
Sustainability is THE topic of the future. But how can technical progress and increased performance be reconciled with ever-increasing energy requirements?
Exhibitors can showcase their commitment and solutions to the problems of the future at the Green IT stage present!
