Convention Partners with Sustainability Certification
A sustainable event is only as strong as the partners who support it. In Tirol, you don’t have to look far: certified congress centres, event locations, conference hotels and entire tourist destinations together form a network that actively implements sustainability standards and makes them transparent through certification.
Whether you need professional conference facilities for an international specialist conference, a unique venue for an Incentive event, or accommodation that shares your sustainability goals: throughout Tirol, there are numerous certified and sustainability-focused Partners available to support you every step of the way.
„Regional partnerships, resource-efficient operations, climate-friendly travel: all these aspects are highly valued at the CCA. As a Green Meeting Destination, we see ourselves as setting an example and are delighted when we can inspire our guests to embrace sustainability too.“
Professional conference centres with many years’ experience, which not only provide venues but also actively support the planning and delivery of sustainable events – from advice on certification to on-site Green Meeting management.
Whether it’s a mountain panorama, a conference hotel or a modern cultural centre – Tirol offers a wide selection of certified venues of all sizes and types, spread across the entire region. The perfect setting for every event.
It’s what’s served that counts. Certified catering companies in Tirol combine sustainability standards with regional cuisine: seasonal ingredients, short supply chains and waste reduction. Catering that not only tastes good – but also fits in with the overall message of the event.
Where participants stay is just as important. Certified conference hotels and accommodation throughout Tirol meet clear sustainability standards – and ensure that the Green Meeting promise continues right through to the hotel room door.
Tirol goes one step further: some Tirolean regions hold the Austrian Ecolabel for Tourism Destinations – the highest state award for sustainability in tourism. This means that anyone holding a conference in these regions is operating in an environment that embraces sustainability not just at the event level, but as a holistic commitment – from mobility and biodiversity right through to Regional value creation and social inclusion.
The result: numerous touchpoints along the customer journey where sustainability measures can be seen and experienced, as well as certified Partners for every occasion.

Tirol has a thriving regional food production sector – ranging from mountain cheese and Tirolean bacon to fresh fruit and vegetables from the Inn Valley. Certified catering companies prioritise seasonal and regional ingredients, short supply chains and consistent waste prevention. The result: catering that not only tastes good but also fits in with the overall message of the event.
No – but a plant-based focus for the menu is an effective lever. Sustainability certifications do not require meat-free events, but they do recommend a mindful approach: more plant-based options, less waste, and higher-quality animal products – sourced from regional, animal-welfare-friendly farms. Tirolean businesses provide an excellent foundation in this regard.
A key factor. Experienced service providers with sustainability certification make implementation much easier – and many Tirolean businesses already meet the requirements. The Convention bureau Tirol matches clients with certified partners specifically suited to each type of event.
It means that the venue has been assessed against clearly defined criteria in the areas of energy, water, waste, mobility and social responsibility – and has been shown to meet them. For planners, this means you start with a strong foundation and don’t have to organise many sustainability criteria from scratch – they are already part of the venue’s operations.
Here you will find venues that hold official sustainability certification.
