As in all areas, sustainability also plays a key role when it comes to organizing business meetings and events in an environmentally friendly way. Even small steps can have positive ecological, social, and economic impacts.
Events such as congresses, conferences, corporate events, seminars, and other gatherings can be certified according to the guidelines of the Austrian Ecolabel for Green Meetings & Green Events. Such certification reinforces the credibility of a sustainable event. By obtaining it, organizers demonstrate their commitment to environmental responsibility, which in turn enhances their reputation among participants, sponsors, and the local community.
To achieve certification, a meeting or event must meet specific requirements in various areas. Additionally, there are optional criteria from which organizers can select those that best fit their event.
The Austrian Ecolabel covers several key areas:
- Mobility & Climate Protection
- Event Venue
- Materials & Procurement
- Catering
- Communication
- Accommodation
- Social Aspects
- Event Technology
