Climate and Environmental Protection - HUNGEXPO

Climate and Environmental Protection

Hungexpo is committed to enhancing energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. From 2025 onward, all our events will be powered exclusively by green energy, resulting in the utilization of over 4 million kWh of clean energy annually. This transition will lead to a 91% reduction in CO₂ emissions associated with our exhibitions, marking a significant step toward a more sustainable future.

To further improve energy efficiency, we conduct regular audits and actively seek innovative solutions to optimize our operations. This approach not only safeguards the environment but also strengthens the competitiveness of our events.

Hungexpo places a strong emphasis on selective waste collection at its events, implementing dedicated collection points and waste compacting machines to enhance efficiency. Waste generated during our exhibitions is directed to environmentally responsible recycling facilities, significantly reducing environmental impact. On-site sorting minimizes the carbon footprint of waste transportation and prevents cross-contamination, increasing the proportion of materials that can be recycled effectively. Furthermore, we have introduced selective waste collection within our offices, integrating sustainability into our daily operations.
Our goal is to reduce single-use materials while increasing the proportion of recyclable resources. At the same time, we continuously refine our waste management practices to make our operations even more efficient and environmentally friendly.

HUNGEXPO is also at the forefront of sustainable water management: we provide water wells at our events to reduce the use of bottled water, and rainwater harvesting is used to water the grounds. In our offices, we replace plastic bottles with modern water dispensers and promote sustainable water consumption.
These measures are designed to optimise water use and reduce our ecological footprint.

Transportation and Mobility

Hungexpo actively promotes sustainable mobility solutions to minimize the carbon footprint of its events. Our venue is easily accessible via public transportation and on foot, offering an environmentally friendly travel alternative in a green urban setting.
On-site, we support eco-conscious transportation through the use of electric vehicles, ensuring both convenience and environmental responsibility. Additionally, an outdoor electric charging station is available for EVs and smart devices, reinforcing our commitment to sustainable mobility initiatives.

Biodiversity

Hungexpo is dedicated to preserving and enhancing biodiversity. Within our venue, we have established a pollinator-friendly meadow and insect hotels, fostering a balanced ecosystem. Moreover, we prioritize seasonal and locally sourced ingredients in catering services to support sustainable food practices.
In collaboration with our partners, we aim to launch tree-planting programs to further reduce the environmental impact of our events and contribute to a greener, more livable future.

Circular Economy

Hungexpo is committed to transforming event-generated waste into valuable resources through recycling and reuse. We incorporate recycled carpets, sustainable decorations, and eco-friendly set designs, while also encouraging the use of reusable materials, such as multi-use cups.

Our efforts extend to waste minimization, utilizing digital solutions and paperless administration to promote sustainable resource management and advance our environmental objectives.
