Through What Process Was the Certification Attained?

Luxexpo The Box achieved B Corp certification in October 2024, earning an overall score of 88.6 points across the five pillars assessed by B Corp: governance, workers, community, environment, and customers.

This international distinction recognizes our commitment to a more responsible business model grounded in sustainable, ethical, and transparent practices.

But what does this actually mean for our company and for the event industry in Luxembourg? Discover our journey to certification.

B CORP CERTIFICATION: A DEMANDING STANDARD

The B Corp label (Benefit Corporation) is awarded to companies that meet the highest standards of social, environmental, and governance performance. It’s not just a compliance badge, but a deep commitment to creating a positive impact for our employees, our partners, and the wider community.

To earn this certification, we underwent a rigorous assessment measuring our performance across several key areas:

  • Governance: Transparency and accountability in our decision-making.

  • Workers: The well-being and professional development of our team.

  • Community: Positive contributions to the local economy and social fabric.

  • Environment: Reducing our ecological footprint.

  • Customers: Promoting sustainable practices among our exhibitors and visitors.

With an overall score of 88.6 points, we surpassed the average and demonstrated our determination to be agents of change. (A minimum of 80 points is required to achieve B Corp status.)

 

A SUSTAINABLE COMMITMENT AT OUR CORE

Earning B Corp certification is an honor, but it’s above all the culmination of more than two years of tangible actions in support of social and environmental responsibility.

Pre-existing Certifications

Even before achieving B Corp status, we had already adopted high sustainability standards, validated by several recognized labels:

SuperDrecksKëscht: guaranteeing environmentally-friendly waste management.

Responsibility Europe: certifying our responsible practices on a European scale.

ESR – Entreprise Responsable: recognition of our commitment to CSR.

EureWelcome: proving that our site is accessible to all.

Concrete initiatives

Our commitment is reflected in concrete initiatives every day:

  • Reducing our carbon footprint through optimized energy management.

  • Streamlining the sorting and recycling of waste generated during events.

  • Promoting eco-responsible practices among our partners and exhibitors.

  • Creating an inclusive and ethical work environment for our team.

 

A CHALLENGE MET THANKS TO THE COMMITMENT OF OUR TEAMS

A Rigorous, Transformative Process

Earning this certification required deep, behind-the-scenes work involving our entire team. We carried out a thorough review of our practices, pinpointed areas for improvement, and put in place the measures needed to meet the label’s exacting standards.

A Thorough and Structured Approach

We had to prove our positive impact by supplying precise data and undergoing a detailed audit. This process also gave us the opportunity to rethink parts of our operation and strengthen our commitment even further.

An Ongoing Commitment

B Corp certification isn’t the finish line—it’s the beginning of a new chapter. Every three years, we’ll be reassessed to ensure we keep progressing and uphold the lasting integrity of our commitments.

 

A MODEL FOR RESPONSIBLE EVENTS

Luxexpo The Box is now one of the few exhibition centres in the world to achieve B Corp certification. This recognition inspires us to keep leading the way in an industry that faces significant environmental and social challenges.

Toward More Sustainable Events


We firmly believe that events can be a catalyst for change. Through our trade fairs, exhibitions, and other events, we have a responsibility to raise awareness and guide our ecosystem toward more responsible practices.

This involves:

  • Offering eco-friendly solutions for our clients and exhibitors.

  • Deepening collaboration with our partners to promote sustainable practices.

  • Increasing public awareness of the importance of ecological transition.

 

CONTINUING OUR COMMITMENT

Obtaining B Corp certification is a key milestone for Luxexpo The Box, but it’s just the beginning. Our ambition is to keep innovating and refining our practices to maximize our positive impact.

Our Goals for the Years Ahead:

  • Continue our ecological transition, particularly by further reducing our carbon footprint.

  • Encourage our partners to adopt responsible practices through awareness-raising and training initiatives.

  • Turn our events into showcases for sustainable development by integrating ever more innovative and environmentally friendly solutions.

We believe this approach benefits not only our company but our entire ecosystem.
