The first SDG Report of the Messe Frankfurt Texpertis Networks summarizes its global commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the context of its global textile trade fairs and provides an outlook on further planned measures and goals. At the same time, the SDG Report serves as an incentive for the Texpertise Network to continue its commitment to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
The Texpertise Network of Messe Frankfurt Exihition GmbH, Frankfurt/Germany, unites current topics, trends, events around the textile business and connects more than 500,000 people from all over the world.
