Sustainability at APD
APD strives for a sustainable event and corporate culture – in social, ecological and economic terms. It is our goal to make APD an event that leaves an ecological footprint as small as possible and, with its diversely networked organiser Film- und Medienfestival gGmbH (FMF), to make a long-term and sustainable contribution to the society. We are therefore in the process of shedding light on all areas of event organisation and are aiming for sustainability certification in accordance with ISO 20121 for sustainable event management.
