Green top models

Sustainability and eco-responsibility, both ecological and social, have become a priority for most of the actors of the meeting industry who search for greener ways to meet differently.

Among the pioneer destinations which have developed sustainable policies, Canada, especially in Montréal and Québec, and Switzerland appear as green models. Some more surprising newcomers such as Las Vegas and or Abu Dhabi have integrated the necessity of turning green into their infrastructures, with, for example, certified congress centres and hotels. The worldwide COP 15 conference symbolized the general mobilization toward sustainability, which has initiated additional green actions. Following COP 15, Denmark launched a dedicated protocol for more sustainable meetings. Meetings Professionals International (MPI) is also organizing the 1st European Forum of Sustainability in the Meetings Industry (EFSMI) this month with the help of all of its European chapters. Similarly, green meetings take up an increasingly important place during international trade shows such as IMEX, for instance, in terms of their organization and educational programme. Let’s have a look at some of the best pupils in sustainability and green initiatives worldwide.
