Together for Berlin

April 22, 2019  

We are confirmed sustainability fans – a commitment evident in self-generated energy, bees on the roof, EMAS certification and much more. Sustainable Meetings Berlin inspires us with new ideas for more sustainability in this sector.

With Sustainable Meetings Berlin, we are working towards the goal of a sustainable Berlin. We share our beliefs and ideas, and show the opportunities for sustainable business activities and practices. For Berlin Event, sustainability is about customer value, competitive edge, saving resources and, above all, protecting the environment.

In RENT4EVENT’s corporate development, the commitment to lived sustainability has a strong tradition and is an essential part of our company philosophy. As a service provider for the event sector, we have been climate-neutral since 2012, and have set ourselves the goal of making sustainability the basis of all our business decisions and processes. The Sustainable Meetings Berlin network allows us to learn from our colleagues’ experience and introduce further change processes.

Where do the chairs come from which we sit on every day? What water are we drinking – and what from? Which partners do we want to work successfully with? How do we shape the working environment of our colleagues? It’s about more than just green electricity. It’s about whether we are doing the right thing in robust ways for a liveable future – and there’s no way around that. Playing a part here is something very close to our hearts. Our cooperation with Sustainable Meetings Berlin helps us to take the right path with the right partners for a constructive and inspiring exchange of ideas. In that way, all projects have a greater chance of success. We are convinced this is the right way to move things forwards – and so we’re glad to be on board.
