MECSPE Sustainability Pathway

MECSPE and Transition 5.0: sustainable innovation for a responsible future

MECSPE represents a benchmark for industry that aims to combine technological innovation and sustainability, in line with the principles of Transition 5.0. The event highlights how companies can address environmental, social and governance (ESG) challenges to build a more responsible and competitive growth model.

Through the SUSTAINABILITY PATHWAY initiative, MECSPE selects and promotes companies that adopt ESG best practices, collected through a questionnaire that investigates how companies integrate sustainability criteria, what concrete actions they have taken (from energy efficiency to the circular economy) and what sustainable solutions they will present at the fair.

This path not only highlights excellence in the sector but also offers companies the opportunity to improve their reputation and respond to growing demands for transparency from customers, stakeholders and the market.
