Climate-Neutral Trade Fair Stands | Climate-Neutral Trade Fair Construction | Sustainability Measurement Concept

greenstands - Climate-neutral trade fair stands by atelier damböck

Sustainable trade fair stands, tailor-made for your needs – that is our goal, and yes, it is possible! Although a climate-neutral trade fair stand does not completely avoid environmental pollution, we compensate for this through targeted measures. We are ready to walk this sustainable path hand-in-hand with you.

 

Let us introduce you to our wide range of services and provide you with professional support from the concept to the realisation of a climate-neutral trade fair appearance. We offer you comprehensive advice that goes beyond stand construction, so that your marketing also achieves sustainable success.

Do you have any questions about climate-neutral trade fair construction?

What is a climate-neutral trade fair stand?

A climate-neutral trade fair stand compensates for emissions by avoiding them elsewhere. This principle is based on the Kyoto Protocol. The path to a climate-neutral trade fair stand has three steps:

 

  • Avoidance: All carbon-relevant features of the trade fair stand are recorded and listed as early as the planning phase. Trade fair planners and exhibitors jointly analyse the emission sources and identify potential savings. The goal is to reduce carbon emissions as much as possible.
  • Reduction and calculation: After completion of the planning phase and the greatest possible reduction in carbon emissions, the exact amount of remaining carbon emissions is determined using a carbon calculator specially developed for the company, which takes into account its carbon footprint. These emissions must be compensated for if a trade fair stand is to be considered climate-neutral. In order to obtain a precise compensation value, it is important to record all carbon emissions throughout the entire value chain.
  • Offsetting: After the carbon footprint has been calculated, carbon emissions are offset by purchasing CER certificates from recognised CDM climate protection projects. The remaining unavoidable emissions are offset by decommissioning or cancelling the emission reduction certificates. The trade fair appearance is therefore climate-neutral and can be designated and advertised accordingly.

What does the emission reduction certificate do?

Conventional trade fair construction produces a lot of carbon emissions. Climate-neutral trade fair construction offsets these emissions by purchasing and decommissioning emission reduction certificates from recognised climate protection projects. These projects lead to action, primarily in developing and transitioning countries, to generate electricity from renewable energy sources, such as wind and hydropower. The sale of the certificates makes these projects possible in the first place and contributes to improving the social and ecological conditions on site.

How does a climate-neutral trade fair stand work?

A carbon-neutral trade fair stand uses eco-friendly materials, including water-based paints. Transport is organised in such a way that there are no empty runs by combining deliveries from different suppliers to avoid individual trips. In addition, all components making up the trade fair stand are reused or recycled.

Isn't the construction of climate-neutral trade fair stands very expensive?

No, the costs amount to an average of 3-5% of the manufacture/production costs for the trade fair stand.

Is production and construction delayed by the use of climate-neutral materials?

This is a legitimate question, especially in view of increasingly short set-up times. No, there are usually no delays, as most of the work is completed upfront. Of course, calculating carbon emissions requires effort and time. However, thanks to our large, flexible team, we can handle this without any problems. Unlike smaller companies, we have a wide range of resources that enable us to provide you with optimum service at all times.

Is this worth it, and what advantages do I gain as an exhibitor?

Climate protection is a question of attitude. If climate protection is important to your company, as it is for many large international companies, a climate-neutral trade fair stand makes a positive contribution to your climate protection concept. Of course, the contribution of each individual class is only a small one, but when considered as a whole, it is quite noticeable. If we all make a small contribution, very comprehensive effects can be achieved. Another positive side effect is the favourable perception in the press.

How can we ensure that the concept has a sustainable environmentally friendly effect?

In this concept, as many carbon emissions as possible are avoided. What cannot be avoided is reduced, and only what remains in the end, which can neither be avoided nor reduced, is compensated for. We are acutely aware of the amount of carbon emitted and thus promote environmentally friendly action in the long term.
