10 years Special Interest: Ethical Style by Ambiente
More and more consumers want to know how products are made. What materials were used? Does the production method meet social and ethical standards? As a result of this rethinking, the subject of sustainability is also becoming increasingly important for many companies. Ambiente has been picking up on this megatrend for over ten years and, with "Ethical Style by Ambiente", is a central international trading centre for sustainably produced consumer goods.
Ethical Style by Ambiente is a programme for exhibitors who offers ecologically produced and socially responsible products. Companies that are accepted into this programme on the basis of their application will receive a corresponding label on their stands at Ambiente and in their exhibitor profile in the online exhibitor search. This will make it even easier for trade fair visitors with a focus on sustainable products to find exhibitors relevant to them and to enter into discussions in a more targeted manner.
The two Ethical Style Spots show how exhibiting companies integrate sustainability into their product range. Within the framework of theme islands based on the Ethical Style categories, both exhibitors and visitors will receive valuable inspiration for the point of sale. At the same time, they enable to create a knowledge transfer and open up new business contacts for visitors.

"Each of our consumer goods fairs has its own focus on sustainability. Ethical Style helps to make these more visible. Where, if not at trade fairs, can so many companies present their sustainable products to an international audience at the same time?"
Ambiente in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals
Ambiente has been addressing the subject of sustainability for years and, with its Special Interest "Ethical Style", is the international trading centre for sustainably produced consumer goods. In addition, the trade fair aligns its activities to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations and is gradually expanding its own initiatives in this area.
