The institution

Our commitment

Fira de Barcelona has a clear commitment to sustainable development, with the creation of social value and the generation of wealth and well-being for Barcelona and its surroundings. We support the productive fabric and convert innovation into a tool for change. These values are closely linked to our concept of business, how we conduct our activities and the efficient management of resources.

Fira de Barcelona has obtained ISO 14001 certification, the most widely recognised international standard in the field of environmental management and we’ve adhered to the Barcelona Biosphere Tourism Sustainability Commitment.

Looking to the future, we focus our efforts on contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), approved by the UN in 2015, adapting them to our strategy and extending this commitment to exhibitors and visitors.
