It is possible to certify events like congresses, meetings, company events, seminars or trade fairs with the Österreichische Umweltzeichen – the Eco Symbol of Austria – for ‘Green Meetings and Green Events’. With this certificate event organisers generate positive accents for the environment and the events’ standing can therefore be improved among participants, sponsors and the population.
The certification process takes into account criteria from the following fields:
- Regional value creation and social compatibility
- Environmentally friendly arrival and departure
- Venues and accommodations with environmental awareness
- Catering / hospitality with local foods and drinks of high quality or organic quality
- Environmentally friendly materials procurement
- Waste prevention, separation and disposal
