CSR Regio.Net Wiesbaden offers companies from Wiesbaden, the Rheingau-Taunus district and Hochheim the opportunity to engage with the topic of "responsible corporate governance" as part of a network and to work on systematically integrating social aspects into all areas of corporate activity.

WICM GmbHhas been participating in CSR Regio.Netsince 2022 . Workshops and practical days are held. The "CSR Regio.Net Wiesbaden" is supported by the IHK Wiesbaden as a strategic partner.

The Hessen MICE Net partner network unites a total of 10 Hessian cities with outstanding event infrastructure. WICM GmbH works on industry-relevant topics within the network. There is an exchange of information and lead campaigns for the conference network are implemented jointly.

Environmentally friendly meetings - this is what the ten partners of Hessen MICE Net have committed themselves to. They have defined guiding principles (opens in a new tab) that are derived from the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.

"fairpflichtet" is the sustainability code of the German-speaking event industry. fairpflichtet members are all players in the industry who are committed to ecological, social and economic sustainability and transparently document their commitment with fairpflichtet. Certification by third parties does not take place. The Sustainability Code is a voluntary commitment to corporate responsibility for sustainability. (Source: fairpflichtet) (opens in a new tab)

Compliance with the EVVC/GCB sustainability code "fairpflichtet" is a matter of course for us. Under the umbrella of Wiesbaden Congress & Marketing GmbH, the RMCC and Kurhaus Wiesbaden have been committed to "fairpflichtet" since 2020.

As a member, we have created a sustainability profile in which we publish our measures and progress. The sustainability profile transparently documents the commitment and current status of the sustainable development of fairpflichtet members.

Sustainability is becoming increasingly crucial for the success of events in order to meet the expectations of participants and partners. To promote this change, BAUM e. V. has joined forces with 2bdifferent to launch the Sustainable Event Industry Initiative (INV). It forms a network of players who support innovative solutions. The initiative has set itself the goal of working with members and partners to promote sustainable business practices in the event industry and act as an accelerator for change. The aim is to build up expertise and initiate a sustainable rethink through innovative approaches. The initiative was launched on September 27, 2024 with a kick-off event in Darmstadt. WICM GmbH has been a member of the initiative since it was founded.

By signing the Diversity Charter, we are clearly communicating our corporate values to the outside world. For us, it is a clear commitment to the free democratic basic order within the framework of our social interaction. As an employer with a strong network in the region and in the tourism and events industry, we want to live up to our overall corporate responsibility and, together with our partners, offer a safe working environment for everyone in these socially tense times.

Since 2018/2019, wehave been participating in the "Energy Efficiency and Climate Protection Network Initiative", similar to our participation in the ÖKOPROFIT program.

The idea of the network is to work together with other companies and experts in a targeted exchange to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. There is an unbureaucratic exchange of experience and ideas, usually between 8 and 15, but at least five companies or company locations, over a period of two to three years to jointly increase energy efficiency and implement climate protection, resource efficiency or sustainability measures.

WICM GmbH has been a member of the Fair Procurement Network of the Service Agency Communities of One World (SKEW) since 2022. The nationwide Fair Procurement Network is an initiative that is committed to complying with social standards when awarding public contracts.

We receive qualified support from the network and take part in annual network meetings.
