Sustainable development

At the Targi w Krakowie, we are aware that the decisions we make today will affect the future not only of future generations but also of ourselves. In the face of environmental, social, and geopolitical changes, the word responsibility takes on even greater significance. We keep this in mind every day as we pursue our sustainability policy goals.

The meetings industry is changing right before our eyes, and we can see this during the numerous trade fairs, congresses, and events organized at EXPO Krakow, where we host over 100,000 people annually from various parts of the world. Certainly, sustainability has become one of the key aspects influencing consumer choice. With this in mind, the exhibition industry needs to be proactive in order to adapt to changing market expectations. As leaders in the MICE industry, we face a huge challenge – not only acting in line with the sustainability policy but also setting new standards in this area.

Ewa Woch, Vice-President of Targi w Krakowie

A decade ago, when we began designing the International Exhibition and Congress Centre EXPO Krakow, our priority was to operate following sustainable development. However, at that time, this topic was not as prominent as it is now. From the very beginning, we have used available technologies and introduced solutions characterised by environmental care, particularly reducing energy, water and paper consumption. When choosing subcontractors, we always look for tenders that propose to use reusable materials.

 Paweł Nikliński, Vice-President of Targi w Krakowie

Sustainability is not only about caring for the environment, it is also about building ethical relationships with employees, suppliers and local communities, carrying out activities to protect tangible and intangible culture and managing the business in a way that ensures long-term financial sustainability while not harming the environment and society. All these aspects are equally important to us.

Małgorzata Borowiec, Member of the Management Board of Targi w Krakowie

At EXPO Krakow, we organise events for Targi w Krakowie as well as for external organisers, supporting them in the implementation of their projects in accordance with applicable laws and business ethics principles. We believe that our activities contribute to building a sustainable and balanced MICE industry, benefiting all parties involved – organisers, participants, partners and the local community.
