Sustainability in refrigeration technology at Chillventa

Meeting of experts

Overall energy efficiency, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and sustainability remain the driving forces behind product and system development. We bring together experts from all over the world to discuss this and innovations such as the heat pump as the future of sustainable heating and other segments of our trade fair. Other key topics include waste heat utilisation and avoidance in trade and industry. Hybrid systems that provide cooling and heating at the same time are ‘real’ sustainability.

Measures for responsible events

We are working to reduce the footprint of our service offerings. Among other things, we rely on reusable, modular aluminum trade fair stands, catering with local food, reusable tableware and a recycling system. With our EV charging stations, discounted train tickets and free public transport, we make climate-conscious travel easier.

Sustainability at NürnbergMesse

As the first trade fair company in Germany, we had our energy management certified to ISO 50001 back in 2014, and our environmental management is certified to ISO 14001. Our halls 3A and 3C have also been awarded DGNB Platinum status. Through measures such as our photovoltaic system with second-life battery storage and our recyclable ECO carpet, we make a measurable contribution to reducing our environmental impact. We document our measures each year in a voluntary sustainability report.
