Green Meetings in Germany

Green meetings are defined as "meetings that integrate environmentally friendly concepts across all planning stages to minimise damage to the environment". Germany has made sustainability and environmental awareness its trademark.

Nearly 40% of German event venues have already implemented a sustainability management system and numerous providers hold certificates from organisations such as Green Globe, EMAS or ISO. (GCB)

The importance of sustainability in our industry is reflected by the increasing amount of measures and standards that have been designed with our sector in mind. Encouraging us to provide a service whereby clients can comply with the values that they seek to uphold. Conference and Touring believe in taking responsibility for their actions and setting industry standards that assure sustainable working practices and a fairer future.

By making good use of the amenities of modern civilisation, e.g. by using digital archives instead of paper files, iPads instead of paper notebooks, congress apps instead of printed programs, cleanable surfaces to write on instead of flipcharts, gobos instead of printed banners, etc. great experiences can be created. Conference & Touring is your ideal partner when it comes to green meetings.

Hamburg – the green capital of Germany

In Hamburg you will find many hotels that have already paid attention to climate consideration during construction, focus their purchases on bio-dynamic, fair or regional products, support social projects or consider sustainability when it comes to personnel management, eg.

- Raphael Hotel Wälderhaus
- Scandic Hamburg Emporio
- 25hours Hotel Hamburg HafenCity
- Lindner Park-Hotel Hagenbeck

Discover the most sustainable city district:

HafenCity was developed to be a particularly sustainable project. This is primarily reflected in the construction and design of the various buildings and spaces. Take a walk through HafenCity and discover the various buildings that are particularly energy-efficient. These buildings provide their own power using renewable energy sources and show us how sustainable urban structures can be. Starting with the most famous building in the city – the Elbphilharmonie, you can admire the Unilever HQ with its unique facade. Find out what the oldest building in HafenCity is and learn useful facts about sustainability in the Osaka9 Pavilion or in the exhibition located in the Greenpeace headquarters. Admire the Spiegel publishing house, which received the gold HafenCity environmental label, and then relax in the green heart of HafenCity – the Lohsepark.

Green Sight Seeing

Sustainable transport options are widely available. Especially in Hamburg you have a wide range of providers for modern urban transport. Micromobility is becoming increasingly popular. And rightly so!

Whether e-scooters, (e-)bikes or electric scooters - the alternatives are broad and offer speed, reliability and comfort.

Sight Seeing tours can be offered with any of these methods of transport.
