Working together for a better future
Sibos is committed to protecting the environment, supporting communities, and advancing diversity, equity and inclusion.
Working closely with our global community, we aim to be one of the world’s most sustainable events.
These efforts align with Swift’s commitment to climate action through the Science Based Targets initiative, setting emissions reduction targets in line with a 1.5°C future.

Protecting our environment
We care about our planet and are working hard to reduce CO₂ emissions generated by the event. We’re collaborating with key stakeholders to lessen travel impact, reduce waste and optimise the use of resources.
Caring for the community
Thousands of participants from around the world attend Sibos and it’s important we create a positive impact for our host cities. As well as supporting local organisations, a significant number of Sibos and Sibos supplier staff are hired locally.
Promoting diversity, equity and inclusion
We’re building a more inclusive and diverse Sibos community, reflective of the global financial community. Our evolving initiatives are designed to welcome a wide range of voices, perspectives and participants.
Our 2025 host venue: Messe Frankfurt
Each year we select a host venue aligned with these commitments. Sibos 2025 takes place at Messe Frankfurt, known for its strong environmental and social responsibility strategy.
