Sustainability.

We’re committed to change and responsibility.

We believe that transformation is possible when organizers, exhibitors, and visitors come together to take responsibility. It’s not about perfection - it’s about moving forward as a team.

Events and conferences often involve significant resource use, travel, and temporary setups, which pose ecological and social challenges for our industry. At the same time, they create opportunities to rethink traditional approaches and develop sustainable solutions.

We’re actively dedicated to making events more environmentally friendly, socially just, and future-focused. Through concrete actions, innovative formats, and an openness to fresh perspectives.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability Standards as Part of Our Venue Strategy

Messe Zürich participates in the ewz.effizienzbonus program. In collaboration with Elektrizitätswerk der Stadt Zürich (ewz), we implement concrete measures to increase energy efficiency and commit to binding energy-saving targets. In doing so, we continuously invest in a resource-efficient operation of our infrastructure and create the foundation for more sustainable events.

In addition, Messe Zürich holds the Swisstainable Label II – engaged, demonstrating that sustainability is structurally embedded in our operations and that concrete measures are continuously being developed. Through the MCH Group, Messe Zürich is also certified with the Sustainable Performance Standard. This international standard confirms that sustainability aspects are systematically integrated into management processes, operational procedures, and the ongoing development of our venues.

For event organizers, this means: benefiting from a professionally managed venue that combines energy efficiency, resource conservation, and credible sustainability standards.
