Stadthalle Reutlingen: again Green Globe recertified

Once again 100% in Green Globe recertification - sustainability with platinum status

01/21/2025

Thanks to this continuous performance, the Stadthalle Reutlingen is one of the few event venues worldwide to be awarded the rare platinum status. In Germany, it is even the only event and congress center to have continuously achieved this top rating since 2017.

Sustainability as a fundamental part of the building

The renewed full recertification is by no means a given, but the result of intensive detailed work and the tireless commitment of the entire team. The Stadthalle lives sustainability down to the last detail. Its goal is not only to offer CO₂-neutral events, but also to make all operational processes sustainable - from procurement to organization to aftercare. The daily actions combine ecological, economic and social aspects. It focuses on the needs of its customers in this regard. This commitment is reflected in innovative event concepts and close cooperation with local and regional partners.

Examples of sustainable commitment:

• tracking of all energy consumption
• regional seasonal catering with mineral water from "on the doorstep" (EiszeitQuell)
• promoting sustainable mobility through naldo combination tickets
• in-house e-charging station and real-time timetable service for public transport

The committed team - the heart of success

Petra Roser, Managing Director of the Stadthalle Reutlingen, highlights the team's special achievement: "Without the knowledge, passion and commitment of each and every one of our employees, this continuous success would not be possible. Everyone pulls together and actively contributes their belief in sustainability. This collective effort has not only made recertification possible, but also serves as a positive example for the entire event industry - especially in times when lead times for events are becoming increasingly shorter and framework conditions are changing rapidly."

Making sustainability visible and tangible

The Stadthalle Reutlingen wants to act as a beacon for sustainable events. Through best practice workshops and a committed presence at trade fairs, it motivates industry-specific companies to actively integrate the topic of sustainability. Its customers receive a sustainability certificate for their company reports, which documents the positive effects of their events - a further step towards promoting awareness of sustainable business. The venue shows that economic success and ecological responsibility are not mutually exclusive, but that synergies can be created. As the only location of this size and genre with a score of 100% at Green Globe for years, it shows that sustainable events are not only possible, but also necessary to meet the challenges of climate change.

With the renewed recertification by Green Globe, the Stadthalle Reutlingen is consolidating its role model function far beyond Baden-Württemberg by holding events in a CO₂-neutral manner. Thanks to its innovative and sustainable approach, the Stadthalle is a competent contact for event organizers who value ecological and corporate responsibility.
