Austrian Eco-Label
The Austrian environmental certificates, “Green Events”, “Green Meetings” and “Green Location” are awarded to conferences, congress and conventions that are characterised in particular by the sustainable use of resources. These include increased energy efficiency, waste prevention and environmentally friendly travel to and from the event. Aspects of regional benefit and social responsibility are also taken into account.
In Tirol, the following Convention Bureau Tirol partners are bearers of the Austrian “Green Meetings and Events” eco-label and can therefore assure that your event is hosted under the “Green Meeting” seal of quality:

K3 KitzKongress in our partner region Kitzbühel, has also been honored with the Green Brands Seal as well as Congress Center Alpbach. Awarded to those who make a major contribution to environmental protection and are committed to sustainability and ecological responsibility. The award is presented by Green Brands, an international brand-marketing organization dedicated to the promotion of environmental sustainability.
Emissions compensation
Where greenhouse gases are emitted is irrelevant. It is the responsibility of each individual to keep this as low as possible. Large amounts of the greenhouse gas CO2 are also produced at various events. However, there are numerous ways and tips to keep this number as small as possible.
Offset calculators can determine the emissions produced and calculate an offset amount. The contributions are then used to support climate protection projects.
