  • The event takes place at public transport-compatible times

 

 

  Energy & Water Supply

 

  • The venue is supplied with 100% green electricity and district heating
  • We define measures to reduce energy consumption (e.g. energy-efficient appliances and lighting, switching off appliances when not in use, room tempertaure doesn't exceed 19° C)
  • We do not use outdoor heaters

  • We encourage access to the FMX venue from our visitors' accommodation by foot or public transport

  Catering

 

  • We favor local catering businesses (short delivery routes, use of existing infrastructure)
  • Approx. 50% of our catering will be vegan or vegetarian.
  • Our partners will serve food and beverages using reusable dishes, glasses, cups, bottles, containers, and cutlery. Where this is not possible, dishes, glasses, cups, bottles, containers, and cutlery made from renewable materials shall be used
  • Our partners do not offer fish from endangered species (tuna etc.)
  • Our partners do not use coffee capsule systems. Where this is not possible, capsules made from renewable materials will be used

 

 

  Waste & Resources

 

  • We try to minimize delivery traffic and keep transportation routes as short as possible
  • We will avoid any unnecessary printing of materials and use digital information materials as much as possible. We kindly invite all our event partners to do the same
  • Decoration is avoided as much as possible. Where decoration is used, reusable materials will be used where possible

 


  Procurement

 

  • FMX dispatches all its letters, parcels and express shipments in a CO2-neutral way (e.g. DHL GoGreen) We kindly invite our event partners to do the same
  • More than 50% of FMX event partners and service providers are sustainability-oriented

 


  Event Marketing & PR

 

  • Participants of FMX are informed and instructed about the criteria for a climate-friendly event
