As organizer of the CultureInvest! Congress under the motto "The innovative cultural industry. Climate Neutral. Democratic. Participative", we not only want to provide sustainable impulses for the European cultural market, but also pursue the long-term goal as organizer and agency to act in a climate-friendly, sustainable and resource-saving manner. In this way, we want to fulfill our social responsibility within our corporate management and are highly motivated to make an active contribution to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.
This internal process is designed for the long term. We ask your indulgence if there is still room for improvement in some areas. We too are a learning organization with regard to climate change and welcome any comments and suggestions for improvement from our allies, partners, participants and customers.
In the following we have listed some areas that should illustrate the dimensions of our climate-friendly and sustainable cultural event:
