OutDoor by ISPO also sets new standards with its "Code of Conduct", which gives organizers, exhibitors and visitors concrete recommendations on how to act in a climate-neutral, resource-saving and sustainable way. This Code of Conduct was developed by the OutDoor by ISPO team together with the European Outdoor Group (EOG), the European Outdoor Conservation Association (EOCA) and the OutDoor by ISPO Advisory Board.
In all nine halls you can see how present the topic of sustainability is. The sustainability pioneer Patagonia in Hall A6 is particularly exciting. The company has entitled its stand with the neon sign "We're in business to save our home planet". There's no better way to say it.
