Sustainability criteria from planning and concept development through to post-event follow-up.
For many events, travel to and from the venue is a significant source of emissions. Tirol is directly connected to the European rail network – Innsbruck can be reached from the main source markets without having to change trains. Once there, short distances and a public transport help avoid unnecessary emissions
Certified and recognised venues meet clear standards in areas such as energy efficiency, waste management and accessibility. Choosing a certified or recognised venue can reduce the planning effort and allow you to build on existing structures. Tirol boasts a high density of conference venues with the Austrian Ecolabel – from city conference centres to conference hotels in the valley.
Locally sourced and seasonal catering can help shorten transport distances and support the local economy.
Small decisions can help reduce the use of materials and resources.
Consistent prevention before separation before disposal – that is the hierarchy. Depending on the certification, measures are documented and specific criteria or targets are defined.
Sustainability measures are particularly effective when they are communicated transparently and clearly – to Participants and the public. Certifications provide the basis for this.
