Responsibility
Charter of diversity
AUMA signed the Diversity Charter in May 2021. This makes the Association of the German Trade Fair Industry part of the nationwide initiative for diversity management in Germany. With its signature, the association expresses that it cultivates an organisational culture that is characterised by mutual respect and appreciation for the diverse skills and talents of all employees.
The Diversity Charter is an employer initiative to promote diversity in companies and institutions. It was launched in December 2006. The aim of the initiative is to promote the recognition, appreciation and inclusion of diversity in the world of work in Germany. Organisations should create a working environment that is free of prejudice. All employees should be valued - regardless of gender, gender identity, nationality, ethnic origin, religion or ideology, disability, age, sexual orientation and identity.

Sustainability: Net Zero Carbon Events Pledge
Trade fairs are meeting places and marketplaces where sustainable innovations and solutions for climate change are showcased. At the same time, trade fairs have a responsibility to minimise their own impact on climate change. To this end, AUMA signed the "Net Zero Carbon Events" initiative in November 2021.
The "Net Zero Carbon Events Pledge" was initiated by the Joint Meetings Industry Council. It is supported by various organisations and associations in the trade fair and event industry. The signatories pledge to achieve zero emissions by 2050 at the latest. In accordance with the Paris Agreement on climate protection, this should include the interim target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50 per cent by 2030.
