Sustainability

Fira de Barcelona is strongly committed to sustainable development, environmental protection, circular economy, and the fight against climate change. Its facilities consume 100% green energy from renewable sources, including a large rooftop photovoltaic plant at Gran Via. The institution has implemented measures for waste management, water reduction (e.g., digitized water consumption control, waterless urinals), and promotes eco-design for stands. Fira is a signatory of the Net Zero Carbon Events Pledge and aligns its strategy with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. [2, 7, 10, 17, 19]
