Leading the Way in Sustainable Events

At Messe Wien Exhibition & Congress Center, we’re committed to making sustainable event management a reality. With two key certifications – the Austrian Ecolabel (UZ200) and Green Meetings & Green Events (UZ62) – we are setting a high standard for eco-friendly venues. We proudly collaborated with pulswerk GmbH , who played a key role in the certification process, ensuring we met the highest sustainability standards. Additionally, the Austrian Ecolabel is awarded by the Federal Ministry for Climate Action ( Bundesministerium für Klimaschutz, Umwelt, Energie, Mobilit?t, Innovation & Technologie ) and the VKI (Association for Consumer Information), further validating our commitment to sustainability.

"We strive to support initiatives to improve the environment and reduce our negative impact on the environment."
