We do not see sustainability as an addition to our corporate strategy, but as a commitment and benchmark for our actions. For us, this means taking responsibility – towards our planet and our society.
Together with our clients and trades, we want to live and explore this sustainability and drive it forward with the help of our own inexhaustible resources – creativity, innovative strength and courage. We call this mission ‘Luminous Green.‘
The principle of Luminous Green is sustainable management. Step by step, we as a company are taking on more responsibility for people and nature in order to make our contribution to a more climate-friendly and fairer world.
For us, sustainability is inseparably linked with responsibility for our planet and our society. We empower our employees to act sustainably and contribute their own ideas to Luminous Green.
We are committed to the use of sustainable materials and pursue the principle of a circular economy. Our aim is to continuously reduce CO2 emissions and energy consumption both within the company and in our projects.
We work closely with the trades involved to optimise our supply chains in terms of energy efficiency and waste avoidance. We advise our clients on sustainability issues in terms of strategy, content, construction and logistics.
We are committed to socially and ecologically sustainable projects and initiatives in Frankfurt and beyond. Our work makes a measurable and socially relevant contribution to raising awareness of the issue of sustainability.
Sustainable management is crucial for our future. But as long as we associate sustainability with asceticism and prohibitions, the change for the better will not succeed.
For us, sustainability means neither renunciation nor restriction – it promotes and challenges our innovative strength and creativity. Enthusiasm and bold solutions are the way forward! Time and again, our projects show that sustainability and inspiring ideas can go hand in hand.
Our understanding of sustainability is based on the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Not all 17 goals can be implemented directly in our studio, but we prioritise those areas where we can make the greatest contribution.
Our basis is formed by the three pillars of sustainability for a socially, economically and ecologically sustainable future. Our activities not only affect our working environment and partners, but also our own actions.

We are proud to be a member of the network of sustainable event agencies. Together with other leading national and international agencies, we have developed a manifesto for sustainable behaviour in the event industry.
With the manifesto, the interest group commits to making sustainable management the standard in its own company. The document includes a joint commitment and specific measures for sustainable action that all signatories intend to implement by the end of 2025.
With new and existing projects, we are creating and designing an SDG project city in Frankfurt am Main, supported by UN-Habitat (United Nations Human Settlements Programme) and UN-Habitat SDG Localisation. An initiative of INGLOSUS Foundation, Maleki Corporate Group and Atelier Markgraph.
