25 years for sustainability

Winner of the German Sustainability Award
What began 25 years ago with a simple conviction—100% green electricity, organic juice, and fair trade coffee—is now an award-winning success story. In 2025, BESONDERE ORTE was honored with the German Sustainability Award.

Pioneers in the industry: We were the first event locations in Germany to receive the demanding EMAS certification. We are the first company in the event industry to report in accordance with the German Sustainability Code. And we were the first to qualify as a Sustainable Partner Berlin.

Our conviction remains: business success and sustainability are not mutually exclusive. For us, ecology, social issues, and economics are inseparable – every day, at every event.

Our highlights from 25 years of sustainability.

Sustainable Coffee breaks

For some, the coffee breaks are the most important part of an event. It is important to us that our guests are provided with healthy, balanced and organic ingredients and can really enjoy networking during the breaks.

Organic drinks

Drinks that come from organic farming are not only environmentally friendly, but also impress with their taste. We always stock organic orange juice and apple juice from Voelkel, as well as organic milk, coffee and tea.

Organic certified ingredients

Organic food protects the environment and is healthy. They contain more secondary plant substances, more flavours and less water. We are certified organic by the GfRS (DE-ÖKO-039) and use some ingredients exclusively in organic quality.

Event ticket

Travel is the biggest factor in the carbon footprint of a venue. All guests attending venues in BESONDERE ORTE can use our venue ticket. With the train, you travel with 100% green electricity.

Accessibility

Our aim is to design our locations in such a way that they are accessible to everyone independently and without assistance. That is why we have been certified in accordance with the Germany-wide "Travel for All" labeling system.
