Sustainability at the Bolle Festsäle

Sustainability as a Promise of Quality

We Design Experiences with Responsibility

Sustainability is not an add-on, a trend, or a marketing tool for us. It is the foundation of our corporate behavior. As an established Berlin event location, we bear responsibility for the impact of our events, for our employees and partners, as well as for the environment and society. Our mission statement "We design experiences with responsibility" shapes our decisions in event operations just as much as in our daily work routine. We understand sustainability as a holistic approach: ecologically, socially, and economically viable, with clear goals and a structured environmental and sustainability management.

Strong today, stronger tomorrow

What does sustainability mean in event operations?

Events connect people, create experiences, and provide impulses. At the same time, however, they consume many resources. Our ambition is to actively reduce this resource consumption and make sustainable alternatives visible, without compromising on quality and atmosphere.

Sustainability in the event context means for us:

  • Efficiently using energy and reducing emissions
  • Conscientiously selecting materials and avoiding waste
  • Exclusively integrating sustainable service providers
  • Taking social responsibility
  • Creating transparency and pursuing measurable goals

Our long-term goal is a climate-neutral event operation by the year 2030 – through reduction, optimization, and compensation of unavoidable emissions.

Our Services

Sustainability does not end at our doorstep for us.
We see ourselves as an active partner in planning responsible events.

Sustainable Partnerships & Service Providers

We work long-term with service providers in the areas of technology, catering, furniture, and personnel management who share our commitment to sustainability. Sustainability criteria are integrated into the corresponding contracts to ensure full commitment to the topic of sustainability at the Bolle Festsäle.

CO₂ Compensation for Events

Upon request, we assist with calculating and offsetting event-related emissions through certified climate protection projects. The goal is to responsibly compensate for unavoidable emissions – as a supplement to consistent reduction.

Sustainable Catering with Bolle's Köche

With our in-house catering service provider Bolles Köche, organizers benefit from:

  • Short delivery routes
  • Coordinated logistics processes
  • Efficient production planning
  • Close volume coordination to reduce food waste
  • Sustainable, regional product selection

The close organizational integration reduces transport emissions, interface losses, and unnecessary packaging, which provides a clear sustainability advantage over external solutions.

Consultation for Sustainable Events

We actively integrate sustainability aspects into our consultation meetings and support you with:

  • Resource-efficient event planning
  • Sustainable material choice
  • Waste prevention
  • Climate-friendly guest travel
  • Transparent communication towards participants

We understand sustainability as a collaborative process, individually adapted to the type, size, and objectives of the event.

The Location Advantage

Synergies with the ABION Hotel

The immediate proximity to the ABION Hotel Berlin offers a significant sustainability advantage:

  • Guest accommodation within walking distance, in a central city location
  • Avoidance of additional passenger shuttles
  • Low logistical coordination effort
  • Reduced emissions due to short distances

Especially for multi-day events or international guests, this close physical connection contributes significantly to reducing transport-related emissions.
