A Green Meeting incorporates sustainability at every stage – from planning right through to the follow-up.
Travel accounts for the largest share of an event’s 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 well-developed local public transport network make it possible to reduce travel-related emissions.
Certified venues meet clear standards for energy efficiency, waste management and accessible facilities. Choosing a certified venue significantly reduces the planning workload and gives you a real head start – as many of the criteria for a Green Meeting are already structurally met there. Tirol boasts a high density of conference venues with the Austrian Ecolabel – from city conference centres to conference hotels in the valley.
Regional and seasonal catering reduces transport emissions, boosts the local economy and creates authentic experiences. Tirol’s mountain cuisine stands for quality and regionality.
From green electricity and paperless communication to reusable tableware: conserving resources starts with small decisions and pays off.
Consistent prevention before separation before disposal – that is the hierarchy. Certified events document their waste and set measurable targets.
Sustainability measures are particularly effective when they are communicated transparently and clearly – to Participants and the public. Certifications provide the basis for this.
