How does Düsseldorf Congress take social responsibility?

Düsseldorf Congress understands social responsibility as part of its event and operations management. This includes measures in the areas of environment and resources, mobility, employees, talent development, safety, and cooperation with partners and service providers.

Our aim is to take these topics into account in our daily work and in the planning of events in a structured way, and to continue developing them over time.

Environment and resources

Düsseldorf Congress takes environmental and resource-related topics into account in various areas of event and operations management. These include energy and building management, measures to prevent waste, mobility options, and cooperation with partners and service providers.

We understand these topics as an ongoing process: measures are reviewed, implemented and further developed where they are appropriate and feasible for the respective area.

Logistics and transport

Düsseldorf Congress works with partners to provide event organisers and participants with options for travelling to events by public transport. Depending on the event, this may include combined tickets that allow the admission ticket to be used within the respective public transport network.

Düsseldorf Congress uses electric and hybrid vehicles in its company vehicle fleet. In addition, Düsseldorf Congress makes financial contributions to climate protection projects via atmosfair in connection with emissions from the company vehicle fleet. Emission reduction measures and financial climate contributions are considered separately.

A wayfinding system is used to support traffic guidance around Messe Düsseldorf and the CCD Congress Center Düsseldorf.

Social responsibility

Düsseldorf Congress is involved in selected occasions in the state capital Düsseldorf and supports various local institutions and initiatives.

Supporting young talent in the event industry

For Düsseldorf Congress, social responsibility also includes training and supporting young talent in the event industry.

Several employees of Düsseldorf Congress volunteer as examiners on IHK examination boards, including for the vocational training professions of event management assistant and event technician. They support apprentices and regularly take part in IHK seminars or workshops, for example on new examination formats, examination methods, and the principles and guidelines of examining.

Safety management

Numerous safety aspects must be taken into account when operating places of assembly and when planning and holding events. These include, among others:

• public safety
• crowd management
• risk management
• occupational safety
• fire and environmental protection
• crime prevention and response

Düsseldorf Congress supports customers, employees and managers with questions relating to safety requirements, organisational measures and the implementation of suitable safety concepts.
