Sustainable Event Guidelines
Your guideline for more sustainable event planning
Together with you, we want to reinforce Berlin as a sustainable conference and event destination as part of our initiative and platform Sustainable Meetings Berlin and, in this manner, make our society and environment more durable for the future.
We have developed the Sustainable Event Guidelines Berlin to help you make event planning more sustainable. Based on recognised framework guidelines, such as the sustainable event planning guideline from the Umweltbundesamt, the Sustainable Event Guidelines Berlin also form the basis for the Sustainable Event Scorecard – the evaluation instrument for the supplementary sustainability funding from the Berlin Congress Fund.
Use the Sustainable Event Guidelines Berlin for your event planning free of charge. This planning document’s clear structure and practical measures for every aspect of event organisation guide you through the planning of your event.
The Sustainable Event Guidelines
- offer ideas for Berlin-specific, practical measures for sustainable event planning
- contain 13 areas of action for all aspects of event organisation
- let you make your sustainable engagement visible via the Supporter Patch
Do you use vegetarian catering? Are your speakers arriving by train? Abstaining from giveaways?
Fantastic! We support your hard work, help you make the rest of the planning more sustainable, and give you the opportunity to make your efforts visible.
