Values and Responsibility
Siegbert Hieber and Sven Bonifer, Managing Director of meplan“We understand sustainability as a core responsibility across all of our work processes.”
The Managing Directors of meplan are committed to sustainable corporate governance.
At meplan, we see sustainability as a core responsibility across all of our work processes. Sustainability is not optional — it’s essential. In our exchanges with colleagues from the trade fair industry as well as our service and business partners, the topic already plays a central role.
At meplan, we don’t see sustainability as a fixed state — but as an ongoing commitment in the sense of the company’s continuous development. Our activities in the areas of environment, social responsibility, and corporate governance (ESG) form the core of our sustainability approach and run through every area of the company. This is reflected, for example, in our recognition as a Sustainable Company by the industry association fwd in 2022.
