Consume responsibly –
design consciously.

…responsibly planned events are effective for tomorrow.

Consumption is a constant companion – whether it’s a quick coffee to go, traveling, working in our daily lives, or planning events. Every decision we make has a direct impact on the environment, resources, and the processes behind the products. That’s why it’s worth pausing and asking: “Does what’s being planned create real added value for the customer – and isn’t there a more sustainable way?” SDG 12 reminds us precisely […]

Sustainably Connecting,
what moves people in cities.

…Events provide impetus – for sustainable, livable cities.

Urban life is vibrant – and events are at the heart of it. Trade fairs, congresses, concerts, pop-ups: cities are hubs for experiences and encounters. But for this to work in the long term, more than just beautiful locations and good infrastructure are needed. It requires an awareness of sustainability, participation, and quality of life – and that’s precisely where SDG 11 comes in.

Events don’t happen in a […]

Events should bring people together –
not exclude.

… how events can create spaces where every voice counts.

Events bring people together – ideally when everyone feels truly seen, heard, and welcome. This is precisely where Goal 10 of the UN – Reducing Inequalities – comes in. It’s about making marginalized groups more visible, promoting participation, and gradually dismantling existing inequalities.

Often, what’s needed isn’t grand gestures, but a conscious shift in perspective: How does the event feel for someone who isn’t part of […]

Without technology no event,
without innovation no progress.

…Experience innovation – on and behind the stage.

Without good infrastructure, creative ideas, and smart technologies, no event can run smoothly these days. Goal 9 of the Sustainable Development Goals – “Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure” – thus directly impacts the event industry. The key question is: How can we use innovations not only to organize events, but also to create experiences with real added value? The event industry is all about using technology sensibly, designing […]

Events are teamwork. And real teamwork.

… when events not only run smoothly, but also fair.

When planning a project, time and budget are certainly the most important factors to consider, but no event comes to life without people. The UN’s eighth Sustainable Development Goal calls for creating decent working conditions and promoting inclusive, sustainable economic growth.

One should be passionate about an event, and one will be even more so when feeling comfortable and well looked after at one’s own workplace. Flexible […]

Energy that not only shines but teaches.

… because events can shine – without wasting energy.

Without energy, nothing works—not even an event. But the UN’s seventh Sustainable Development Goal makes it clear: energy should not only be available, but also sustainable, safe, and affordable.

In the Western world, electricity is often taken for granted. But that’s precisely why it’s important to be aware of where and how energy is consumed. Events require electricity: for lighting, sound, technology, heating, cooling, digital tools, and […]

Clean drinking water is a recognized human right.

… conserve and utilize resources and set clear guidelines

Water is one of the most precious resources we have. The United Nations’ sixth goal is all about access to clean water, sanitation, and sustainable water use. This goal can be incorporated into the event industry in many ways, from catering to restroom use.

When selecting venues, it’s important to consider how responsibly water and hygiene are handled: Is everything germ- and mold-free? Are there water-saving […]

Equality starts with the details.

… Events can create enough space for everyone

Equality isn’t a special topic; it’s a central component of a just society. The United Nations’ fifth goal focuses primarily on the equal participation of women in social, political, and economic life. But what exactly does this mean for the events industry?

In fact, equality can be implemented in many different ways. Events offer a good opportunity not only to promote equality but also to implement it in a practical […]

Promote lifelong learning opportunities.

… because events can be much more than just networking opportunities

Education is the key – not only for the personal development, but also for social progress. The fourth goal of the UN Sustainable Development Agenda aims to ensure that everyone has access to high-quality education – regardless of gender, origin, or social status. And event management has more to do with this than you might think.

Because events are places for exchange, learning, and inspiration. Whether it’s a […]

Plan wisely, implement healthy.

…how events not only raise the pulse, but also ensure well-being.

A good event stays in mind—but it should also be good for the body. The third goal of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals is all about health and well-being. Those who plan events are ultimately designing temporary living spaces—and have many opportunities to make them healthier, more fair and enjoyable.

Even during the preparation phases, one should not only ensure smooth process runs but also make sure […]
