DGPPN MATTERS

SUSTAINABILITY

AT THE DGPPN CONGRESS 2015

The DGPPN will continue to conduct its annual congress as a sus-

tainable, environmentally friendly congress. In this way we face up

to our responsibility for the environment and for our children. We

want to send a clear signal and address to this important topic.

Our partners CPO HANSER SERVICE and the Messe Berlin will also

participate. We hope that the congress participants will support this

initiative with their own behaviour and ideas.

Messe Berlin

Berlin supports sustainability and environ-

mental protection in the following ways:

|

|

2 thermal power stations for economical

and environmentally compatible power

and heat production

|

|

Wood pellets plant to obtain CO2-neutral

energy from renewable raw materials

|

|

Heat recovery systems in the exhibition

halls

|

|

Energy saving by:

|

|

Minimal heating / cooling while events

are assembled and dismantled

|

|

Energy-optimised switching concepts

for outdoor lighting

|

|

Waste separation by using bins for sepa-

rating waste in public areas

|

|

Cleaning services that use biologically

degradable cleaning products

|

|

Use of porcelain tableware for food and

drinks in the CityCube Berlin

The organisation of the congress
