Sustainability is a high priority for us
Trade fairs and events – that doesn’t sound like a particularly ecological business at first. But that’s exactly what we want to change. We have critically scrutinized our entire procedures, analysed processes and put habits to the test. The result: new, future-oriented solutions for greater sustainability – and a clear decision to leave our comfort zone
Sustainability - the green corporate culture at AVMS GmbH
In view of global challenges such as environmental pollution, scarcity of resources and climate change, sustainable action is becoming increasingly important in all areas of life. We at AVMS have also asked ourselves: How can we make our contribution?
The first step was to understand our own ecological footprint. Today, we know exactly where we can start – and act consistently.
Concrete measures for greater environmental awareness
- Resource-saving logistics: Our rental material is transported almost entirely in robust, durable boxes and cases. Packaging material from new deliveries is collected, temporarily stored and reused for shipping goods for sale. In this way, we reduce waste and cut costs at the same time.
- Digital processes instead of paper: In our office processes, we have largely replaced paper with digital workflows – going far beyond dispensing with fax machines.
- Sustainable mobility: we have been gradually converting our fleet to alternative drive systems since 2022. The first hybrid vehicles were followed by the first fully electric car in 2023. In 2024, a large-scale photovoltaic system will be installed on the roof of our company headquarters in Potsdam. Some of the electricity generated will supply buildings and company vehicles directly, while the rest will be fed into the public grid – an investment that also pays off economically.
- Sustainable exhibition stand construction: Modern system stands from manufacturers such as beMatrix, Aluvision, Visiona or Octanorm enable resource-saving construction without wood and disposable materials. Our media technology is perfectly matched to these systems.
