Managing your exhibition stand’s greenhouse gas emissions

In these times, it is important to make responsible choices that do their bit for the planet in business too. Exhibition stands designed and built by Messeforum Oy are created with the goal of reducing environmental impact and represent a responsible choice. As environmental reporting requirements continue to increase, Messeforum’s clients are at the forefront, with access to exhibition stand emissions data that can be incorporated into their own sustainability reporting. With Messeforum, you stay one step ahead in your sustainability efforts.

At Messeforum, sustainability is not an afterthought—it is genuine, measurable, and transparently reported. We are committed to carbon neutrality and reducing greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). We have developed a carbon footprint management plan, which is reviewed and updated annually in line with the latest standards.The emissions of Messeforum’s exhibition stands are calculated in accordance with the ISO 14067 standard for product carbon footprinting and verified by an independent third party, OpenCO2net, ensuring the accuracy and impartiality of the calculations.

The emissions of our exhibition stands are calculated in detail

Messeforum’s stand construction business is founded on Messeforum’s climate strategy and detailed analysis of the emissions caused by our operations. Our partner in calculating and analysing emissions is the expert company OpenCO2net Oy, which is specialised in encouraging responsible, carbon neutral business and calculating carbon footprints. It reviews the principles and methodologies of our emissions calculations and verifies the calculation results.

We have worked with OpenCO2net Oy to survey the sources of emissions in designing, building and dismantling our stands. The carbon footprint of each exhibition stand we build is calculated using an automated calculator that utilizes up-to-date emission factors from the OpenCO2 emissions database.  The calculations are based on internationally recognized guidelines and comply with the ISO 14067 standard for carbon footprinting.

The carbon footprint calculation at Messeforum Oy is highly detailed. It incorporates all sources of emissions, including construction materials, furniture and equipment and their transport, the electricity used in the stand, business travel involved in construction on site and transporting waste for waste treatment or for re-use when the stand is dismantled.

Energy and materials play a key role in reducing the carbon footprint

We reduce the carbon dioxide emissions caused by our stands by improving the efficiency of our use of materials, choosing low-emission materials and encouraging a circular economy. We re-use materials and furniture as far as possible, while ensuring that our exhibition stands are always stylish and of high quality. We are also developing new, lower-emission solutions for exhibition stand construction.

The electricity used in our stands is always from renewable energy sources where available. The waste from dismantling our stands is sorted and processed in line with the exhibition centres’ recycling programmes.

At the same time, we are also committed to reducing our carbon footprint in all our operations, e.g. including our own office environment in which we use only renewable energy. We also favour paperless and remote work. We are committed to reducing our emissions in line with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Choose a responsible exhibition stand builder who takes care of calculating the emissions of your exhibitionstand

Messeorum measures the carbon dioxide emissions of every exhibition stand we build precisely in accordance with the standards, from the materials of the stand to our team’s travel and accommodation. The emissions calculation is based on a life cycle approach and, in accordance with the standard, covers emissions from raw material sourcing through to the product’s end of life (cradle-to-grave).

Your company always receives a verified third-party certificate from us to show that the greenhouse gas emissions of your exhibition stand are calculated. The certificate states the amount of emissions remaining from the exhibition stand after our emission reduction measures have been implemented.

Your company can use the exhibition stand emissions certificate to communicate its sustainability efforts at trade fairs. Environmental reporting is already mandatory for larger companies and also extends to emissions across the value chain. Reporting your company’s Scope 3 value chain emissions is made easier with Messeforum, as you automatically receive data on the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the exhibition stands we deliver for your company.

Be a trailblazer with us and take over an environmentally friently competitive andvantage by ordering your company’s exhibition stand from Messeforum.
