carpe takes responsibility
For us, sustainability is no longer just about environmental protection. Rather, we see our company as committed to responsible action that combines the ecological, social and economic dimensions.
We continuously make our contribution and are convinced that a balance between ecology and economy is the basis for long-term success.
It is our declared aim to keep our ecological footprint as small as possible and to make a contribution to sustainable exhibition stand construction.
How we live sustainability
Sustainable management is a fundamental part of our corporate policy. That is why we created sustainable processes at an early stage at carpe.
A long-lasting wall system
We have developed our own partition wall system with which we create exhibition stands that not only meet the demand for a high-quality look, but also 100% sustainability - the clickwand.

Our own stock of props and our own studio for custom-made products - we not only realize individual customer wishes, but also reduce the constant procurement of props
Regional partnerships
We attach great importance to good partnerships with our customers and suppliers from the local area, based on honest cooperation.
Sustainable exhibition stand concepts
We see sustainability as a form of consulting. We are happy to support you at any time on your way to a climate-friendly exhibition stand.
Working together as a family
Flat hierarchies and fair treatment of each other are important elements of our team. Flexible working hours support a healthy work-life balance.
Conserving resources
Our company's decoration department has its own warehouse for props and a studio for specialized productions, which enables us to meet individual customer requirements and reduce the frequency of new purchases. This helps to optimize our infrastructure. In our daily operations, we attach great importance to minimizing the consumption of packaging materials by reusing packaging and using our own sustainable transport boxes. We also use used materials such as molleton or carpeting several times in order to save resources.
In our everyday office life, we consistently practice recycling and waste avoidance and strive to minimize the consumption of water, energy and paper. Our offices have been renovated in line with the latest energy standards and designed to be environmentally friendly. In our garden, compost worms decompose organic waste into natural fertilizer for our vegetable gardening. Since 2025, we have been proud of the fact that we produce 95% of the electricity required for our business premises, graphics production and e-mobility ourselves using a photovoltaic system.
Long-term cooperation with regional partners
Our company highly values honest and lasting relationships with customers and suppliers. Over the years, we have built up a strong network of local partners and suppliers. This saves us time and transportation routes. When selecting our suppliers, we make sure that their ecological and social values are in line with ours.
Our aim is to promote long-term partnerships that benefit all parties involved. We also apply this philosophy to our freelancers and temporary staff, whose loyalty and commitment we particularly value
Our team spirit
As a women-led company with a strong commitment to equal opportunities, we foster a culture of flat hierarchies and fair treatment. We support the work-life balance of our employees through flexible working hours and a high retention rate, with many of our team members having been with us for over a decade.
Our office in Cologne Mülheim is easily accessible and offers a familiar working atmosphere, which is fostered by joint activities such as the weekly lunch, where every employee cooks once, and special events such as Prosecco Friday. We attach great importance to sustainability, which runs through all aspects of our business activities, from mobility to digitalization. We are striving to switch our vehicle fleet to more environmentally friendly alternatives and make greater use of public transport.
Another important goal is to transform our company into a circular economy by developing new, sustainable sources of supply and waste solutions based on the cradle-to-cradle principle.
