As a driving force for the green sector, GaLaBau is particularly dedicated to the challenges of climate change. The gardening and landscaping sector is showing great commitment in this area and is making an active contribution to the necessary climate adaptations in many areas. The demand for so-called green-blue products and solutions will continue to increase in the coming years. GaLaBau reflects this development not only in its range of products and services covering the entire value chain, but also in its extensive supporting programme.
Our events are global platforms for sustainable innovation.
Peter Ottmann, CEO NürnbergMesse

Topics

The GREEN-BLUE PATH goes into another round at GaLaBau 2024. Exhibitors apply with their solutions and services on the subject of climate adaptation and receive approval from an expert jury according to transparent criteria. The pioneers will be specially labelled both on site and in various marketing documents. Visitors can also look forward to guided tours for the first time. The large exhibition area of the Federal Association of Horticulture and Landscaping (BGL) is dedicated to the motto ‘Future of green living spaces’ and the focus on ‘Water’ landscaping services for adapting to climate change.

Exhibitors and trade visitors can expand their networks and knowledge, enter into dialogue with each other and develop solutions together.

Measures for responsible events

We are working to reduce the footprint of our service offerings. Among other things, we rely on reusable, modular aluminum trade fair stands, catering with local food, reusable tableware and a recycling system. With our EV charging stations, discounted train tickets and free public transport, we make climate-conscious travel easier.

Sustainability at NürnbergMesse

As the first trade fair company in Germany, we had our energy management certified to ISO 50001 back in 2014, and our environmental management is certified to ISO 14001. Our halls 3A and 3C have also been awarded DGNB Platinum status. Through measures such as our photovoltaic system with second-life battery storage and our recyclable ECO carpet, we make a measurable contribution to reducing our environmental impact. We document our measures each year in a voluntary sustainability report.
