Corporate responsibility guidelines for sustainability in the organisation and implementation of events
STRATEGY 1. Sustainable management means acting strategically, taking the lead and means integration into corporate processes.

2. sustainability is primarily understood as an OPPORTUNITY; to solve the effects of entrepreneurial action in the future and for the benefit of all.

3. upstairs fulfils responsibility in the region to increase COMMUNITY.

4. economics in balance with ecology and social aspects are equal concerns for the long-term stability of the company.

5. responsible handling of RESOURCES AND ENERGY means 1. avoid, 2. reduce and 3. replace in a regenerative way.

6. upstairs fulfils a demanding SOCIAL COMPETENCE towards its employees, increases their qualification and secures employment.

7. out of RESPECT for people, the "sustainable entrepreneur" is committed to the observance of human rights and opposes all forms of discrimination and corruption.

8. openness is an attitude. Transparency of measures for sustainability is the consequence.

9. the voluntary SELF-Commitment to sustainability is a duty to oneself, which becomes the claim of society.

10. upstairs provides INVITATIONS to rethink and act in order to involve employees and partners in a continuous improvement process of sustainability.

Future-oriented action is based on the foundation of sustainability. This is not just about a project, but about an attitude that influences our decisions and our work in every detail. It is part of our everyday office life and the basis for the implementation of our projects. In this ongoing process, which we are constantly optimising through experience, we see our decision for sustainable project realisation as an essential element of our activities and consulting competence. This is how upstairs makes emotional encounters possible in the long term.
