Championing and accelerating sustainable progress
At dmg events, we are on a mission to collaborate with our colleagues and partners to develop innovative solutions that will ensure a more sustainable future for our events and the industries we serve. Across our business, we are working to reduce our Scope 1, 2, and 3 greenhouse gas emissions with a long-term goal of reaching Net Zero by 2050.
Through robust measurement and transparent reporting, we are aligning with the Net Zero Carbon Events Pledge to meet bold, yet achievable, milestones. Working with our stakeholders, our plan focuses on five key areas.
