These days going ”green” is a competitive trend and many industries are joining the green wave. This is not any different for the meetings industry. But what does it actually mean to be green? Is it about eating organic food, re-using towels, recycling garbage or using public transportation?
When you start digging into the related articles about being green, you’ll find that it is not just about the environment. To us, "being green" is focusing on the three elements of sustainability, i.e. environment, economics and social responsibility, meaning that being green should not only have an environmental advantage but also a competitive advantage. So by rethinking the way meetings are held, we can be environmentally conscious as well as competitive - the keys to the future.

Denmark was hosting the big UN Climate Change Conference in December 2009, and VisitDenmark used this opportunity to promote green meetings internationally. VisitDenmark united with some of the biggest partners in the global meetings industry to discuss recommendations on how to hold sustainable meetings. This project is called "The Copenhagen Sustainable Meetings Protocol" and its objective is to define and produce a globally accepted interpretation of sustainable meetings, which can be employed by international corporations and organisations when planning meetings in the future.
What makes Denmark different?
We are not claiming to be the ”greenest” destination in the world, but for many years we have embraced sustainability in several ways. Please see examples here. |
