Information on the Carbon Footprint event
After the BAUM Conference and Awards Ceremony 2026, we will work with a partner to record and evaluate the event’s carbon footprint. Our aim is to continuously avoid and reduce the greenhouse gas emissions associated with our events.
For emissions that are currently unavoidable, we work with selected partners to support certified climate protection projects and help to achieve global climate protection targets.
Experience has shown that the majority of emissions at events are caused by guests’ travel. At past BAUM Conferences and award ceremonies, mobility and accommodation were responsible for more than 50% of the carbon footprint. Raising awareness for the most environmentally friendly travel is therefore an important concern for us. For the most accurate calculation possible, we ask you to indicate how you will be traveling when you register. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
