AFEA Congress is proud to announce the successful submission of its 2025 Communication on Progress (CoP) Report to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), continuing a journey of accountability, responsibility, and sustainability that began in 2017. This year’s report underlines our steadfast dedication to the Ten Principles of the UNGC in the areas of Human Rights, Labour, Environment, and Anti-Corruption, while highlighting new initiatives and strengthened practices that reflect our evolving role in the global meetings industry.
At AFEA Congress, we view Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Sustainability not as parallel goals, but as an integral part of our operations and strategic direction. The 2025 CoP Report demonstrates how we have expanded our approach over the past year—enhancing sustainable event solutions, reducing environmental impact, and fostering ethical and inclusive practices within our team and our partnerships.
Dimitra Lignou, AFEA Congress CEO stated: «It is an honour to present our 2023-2024 Sustainability report which is paired with the submission of the COP digital questionnaire, which reflects our continued efforts to embed the principles of sustainable development and responsible business practices into both our strategy and daily operations. Our success has been driven by the strength of teamwork and collaboration. I am deeply proud of our dedicated team, whose commitment to excellence and shared vision for a sustainable future have empowered us to navigate challenges and embrace new opportunities. Together, we’ve combined our expertise to develop innovative solutions that create lasting impact and advance global sustainability.»
The meetings and events industry is uniquely positioned to influence change, bringing together people, ideas, and innovation across borders. By embedding sustainable practices into our daily work and projects, we aim to create long-term value not only for our clients and partners but also for society at large. Through transparency in reporting and action, AFEA Congress continues to set an example of how purpose-driven business can drive resilience and industry leadership.
We invite you to explore our latest Sustainability Report, which outlines in detail the steps we are taking to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) while staying true to our mission of shaping a more responsible and forward-thinking meetings industry.
Our commitment is clear: to remain accountable, to innovate responsibly, and to lead with integrity as we build a sustainable future together.
