IFAT Environmental Leadership Award
Become the winner of the IFAT Environmental Leadership Award. Like Auma Obama or the Club of Rome. The sustainability award at IFAT in Munich aims to promote innovative environmental technologies.
The IFAT Environmental Leadership Award will not be presented until the beginning of May 2020. IFAT presents visionary technologies and intelligent solutions for water, sewage, waste and raw materials management. The exhibitors' innovations make a decisive contribution to sustainable circular economy. Exhibitors participating in IFAT can still apply.
The overall concept of a sustainable trade fair presentation will be evaluated by a jury chaired by Prof. Dr. Martin Faulstich, Professor of Environmental and Energy Technology at Clausthal University of Technology, Director of INZIN - Institut für die Zukunft der Industriegesellschaft e.V. (Institute for the Future of Industrial Society) and former Chairman of the German Council of Environmental Experts.
Look forward to a high-profile awards ceremony and be celebrated for your environmentally friendly trade show presence! By being honored, you will start the trade show days as a role model and highly decorated exhibitor.
Who may participate?
- All main exhibitors
- All organizers of joint stands at IFAT 2020
The award and distinction of the most sustainable trade fair concept will be as part of the opening event of IFAT on May 4, 2020. We have made a decision. From all the entries, we nominate ten sustainable concepts, three of which make it to the final.
Sustainable world leading trade fair
Being the world's leading trade show also means taking responsibility. This ranges from the selection of materials and the handling of waste to the motivation of exhibitors and visitors.
The contribution of Messe München:
- 2,500 trees on the exhibition grounds to compensate for CO2 emissions
- 35,000 m2 green hall roofs
- One of the world's largest rooftop photovoltaic systems to produce environmentally friendly electricity
- Generating a large part of the heat for the exhibition halls with geothermal energy
- Conversion to 100% green electricity as of 2020
- Feeding the fair lake with rainwater and groundwater
- Settlement of bee colonies on the fairgrounds
- Very good public transport connections to the exhibition center
- 50 parking spaces with e-charging stations
"Our future actions are based on the foundation of sustainability. It is not just an intention, it is our attitude. It should be the basis for our decisions and actions," says Philipp Eisenmann, IFAT project manager.
