As part of its efforts to achieve climate neutrality by 2070, India is investing billions of dollars and working together with other countries to significantly drive forward the development for sustainable energy and mobility. High-calibre network platforms like the Mission Net Zero India Summit are designed to help attain these long-term development targets. As Wolfgang Marzin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Messe Frankfurt, emphasises: “We are very much looking forward to working together with Constellar. Organising the summit together allows us to contribute our vast expertise in setting up and running major technical trade fairs. In the thematic areas it covers, most of Messe Frankfurt’s event portfolio reflects the social transformation towards sustainability. With its comprehensive sustainability strategy, Messe Frankfurt has also ushered in a transformation process aiming to reduce the event industry’s carbon footprint and its Frankfurt base will be climate-neutral by 2040 at the latest.”
More than 5,000 participants expected
Under the heading Accelerating India’s Net Zero Transition and Global Leadership, the event on 7 and 8 December will play host not only to political decision-makers but also to key representatives of industry and science from India and the rest of the world. The focus of the summit will be on innovations and future technologies, which will be presented in panels and keynote speeches featuring high-calibre guests. A total of 150 speakers, 5,000 delegates and visitors, and 100 exhibiting companies and sponsors are expected at the Mission Net Zero India Summit.
Messe Frankfurt with far-reaching sustainability strategy
Sustainability is a central pillar of Messe Frankfurt’s corporate strategy. By the end of 2023, Messe Frankfurt wants to be the first company in the German trade fair sector to secure a certificate from environmental management system Eco Management & Audit Scheme (EMAS). The company has committed itself to the United Nations Global Compact, the Charter of Diversity and the Fairpflichtet sustainability code. In 2022, Messe Frankfurt completed an ESG rating (Environmental, Social and Governance) for the first time and was awarded a bronze medal. As well as supporting the sustainability initiatives of sector associations AUMA and UFI, the company has signed the Net Zero Carbon Events Pledge.
