Art Basel has already taken steps in:
- Highlighting the importance of renewable energy sources and reduced energy consumption in our discussions with our venues.
- Improving waste management on site and reducing waste produced by our fairs including by identifying and selecting reusable materials whenever possible
- Actively communicating our goal to adhere to sustainable shipping practices with our freight handlers and exhibitors in collaboration with the Gallery Climate Coalition (GCC).
- Enforcing a near-zero disposable cutlery policy at food and beverage outlets whenever possible; promoting a variety of vegan and vegetarian cuisines; working with local suppliers.
- Reducing the carbon emissions related to travel by optimizing team travel, favoring low-carbon modes of transport, and promoting conscious travel to our stakeholders. As a first step, Art Basel currently off-sets whenever possible the carbon emissions from all flights for its team. More information can be found here.
- Encouraging discussions and raising awareness about climate change and sustainability in the panel discussions of our Conversations program, in on-site presentations, and in our editorial content.
Furthermore, as an Active Member of the Gallery Climate Coalition GCC, Art Basel supports this important initiative founded by gallerists and other art world professionals and is committed to collaborating closely with the GCC around the topic of sustainability.

Art Basel in Basel 2023
Building and fair operations
- For our Basel show, where we own the exhibition site, 80% of the overall energy requirements are met by renewable energies. Furthermore, the Messe Basel venue covers its electricity needs from 100% renewable energy generated from European wind farms.
- The entire wall-system for our four shows is fully reusable and shipped to each location by boat. It has a lifespan of between 7-10 years, after which it will be repurposed for other trade show. The lighting of our shows is being gradually switched to 100% energy-saving LED lighting, and the aisle carpet is fully recycled after the show to be used in other industries such as construction and furniture.
Waste management
Art Basel is focused on better understanding the fair’s waste materiality breakdown through continued collaboration with waste management expert reusecity.
- A waste sorting and recycling protocol will be implemented during the construction and dismantling of the fair and accompanied by an educational webinar for galleries and freight handlers around waste management and sustainable packaging in partnership with GCC and reusecity.
- Waste generated by Messe Basel is fed into SRS (Swiss Recycling Services), a company owned by Helvetia Environment.
Restauration and communications
- All outlets will offer a majority of vegetarian options, with the pop-up restaurant by two-starred Michelin Chef Pascal Steffen offering a fully vegan menu.
- Disposable tableware is not available at any of the catering outlets, and water fountains have been installed in the Messe Basel to avoid the use of plastic bottles.
- Additionally, a novel ReCircle initiative will be introduced for Exhibitors at the Exhibitor Lounge.
- Print products have been replaced with digital communication tools wherever possible. We prioritise working with local partners for the remaining printed matter in use and prioritize sustainably sound paper.
Art Basel Miami Beach 2022
- 巴塞爾藝術展積極使用電子通訊方式以取代紙本通訊，並與不同提供環保產品及服務的供應商合作
- 巴塞爾藝術展的展場Messe Basel1所採用的能中，94.2%是可再生能源
- Messe Basel與Industrielle Werke Basel（IWB）合作以應付能源需求。IWB的電力由自設的發電設備中供應，主要以瑞士境內的水力發電，為100%可再生能源。
Messe Basel的天台更設太陽能發電系統，所製造的電力足夠供應300個四人家庭所需
Messe Basel的廢料由Helvetia Environment旗下的瑞士循環再用服務（Swiss Recycling Services）收集
藝廊氣候聯盟
Building
巴塞爾藝術展現已加入藝廊氣候聯盟（Gallery Climate Coalition）。聯盟旨在促進一個更環保及可持續的藝術業，並希望符合巴黎氣候協議中提出於未來10年共同減少50％碳排放以及推動零廢棄政策等方針。巴塞爾藝術展全力支持這個由藝廊從業者及其他藝壇專業人士倡議的項目。
Reduced energy consumption
In an effort to reduce electrical consumption, the new MBCC relies on daylight in the public spaces.
The MBCC has also installed high efficiency LED lighting throughout the ballrooms, meeting rooms and public spaces.
New occupancy light sensors throughout the building also reduce electricity consumption by automatically turning off lights in meeting rooms and ballrooms when the spaces are not in use.
Fair operations
The entire wall-system, aluminum truss system and energy-saving LED lighting is reusable. The wall-system for all our shows is fully reusable and has a lifespan of between 7-10 years, after which it is repurposed for other trade shows. The central storage and restoration facility is located near Düsseldorf due to its proximity to the Rotterdam harbor, and the walls are shipped by boat to Miami Beach. The show does not install any aisle carpet and takes an approach to minimize carpet in any of its special areas.
For catering, where feasible non-disposable tableware is provided, alternatively biodegradable and compostable products are in use. Art Basel works together with Sodexo Live!, who implement the following five sustainable practices: Boosting plant-based meals, driving responsible and local sourcing, reducing waste, supporting communities through food donations and volunteerism, and transitioning to biodegradable and compostable products.
Water fountains are located throughout the MBCC and aluminum bottles are distributed to exhibitors, partners, and staff.
Waste management for our show is aligned with the overall regulations implemented by the venue the MBCC. Art Basel works with local suppliers as much as possible to reduce the overall carbon emissions from transportation.
Art Basel works with suppliers that provide sustainable products in our catalogue of services: Laminate Eco labels (Blue Angel, PEFC Certified, PVD Free), ceilings (EPD certified).
Art Basel is launching a carpooling initiative to promote carsharing amongst the hosts as well as security staff working for the Miami Beach show. Art Basel will cover the parking costs for those who carpool with 2 and more individuals, as well as offer a complimentary day ticket to the show.
