Act for society
We aim to positively impact society in two ways:
As a company, we’re supporting our communities in their journey towards net zero while championing their growth and development. We also collaborate with charitable organisations to nurture solidarity and drive positive societal change.
As an employer, we put our people first. No exceptions. We prioritise well-being and boost their development. All the while creating a culture that celebrates diversity and inclusivity.
How we’re helping our communities:
Supporting their journey to net zero
1,200 hours of educational content were dedicated to sustainable topics during our events in 2025.
As event organisers, our duty goes beyond reducing our own footprint. We also want to support others on their decarbonisation journey.
Whether it’s expert keynotes, sustainable exhibitor tracks or innovation tours – sustainability is always on our agenda. In 2025, 75% of our events incorporate sustainability topics in their content programme.
Growing businesses, growing sectors
Our events don’t just impact attendees. They create a far-reaching ripple effect. They instigate business growth, create connections between peers and boost commercial opportunities across entire industries. And when many businesses grow, sectors grow too. Win, win.
Our venues also have a positive impact on the host city’s economy and development. We estimate that for each euro spent on a trade fair, seven euro will be generated in the local economy.
Supporting start-ups, entrepreneurship and innovation
83% of our events spotlight start-ups.
83% of our events showcase the latest innovations.
At Easyfairs, we’re passionate about fostering innovation and supporting the growth of new businesses. That’s why 83% of our events feature dedicated start-up zones that spotlight emerging companies and 83% of our events foster innovations through galleries, awards, trails or talks.
If you’re a startup, or interested in the latest innovations, our events offer a huge range of opportunities. You can showcase or see the latest products, engage with industry leaders, and connect with potential investors or partners.
How we ensure diversity, equity and inclusion
We believe embracing diverse perspectives, experiences and backgrounds enriches our organisation. So, diversity and inclusion underpin every aspect of our work.
We have definitive DEI targets for our events. Our events are required to have at least 40% female speakers on their panels. Plus, we’re training our team members through DEI management workshops and seven dedicated modules on our internal learning platform, The Academy Online.
How we stand up in solidarity
76% of our events partner with a non-profit initiative.
+270K€ was raised for charity in 2025 by our event, venue and office teams
Solidarity is about creating a sustainable, equitable and inclusive future. It’s a key part of our “Act for the Future” strategy and shapes the work we do.
Our events and venues create long-term partnerships with selected charities. This amplifies our social impact and makes a meaningful difference to the societies we work in.

How we put our people first
Creating a positive impact in our communities relies on having innovative, creative people in our team.
This is why we nurture our talents, care about their wellbeing and prioritise their development. All the while creating a culture that celebrates diversity and inclusivity.
