Implementing the Sustainable Development Goals: Environmental and Resource Efficiency

Abstract

Greening means not only a positive impact on society and the state of the environment through the introduction of green standards in the business processes of an organization hosting a congress or exhibition. significant cost savings are also possible, which can be achieved through more efficient use of resources and waste minimization. In addition, the rationalization of activities and the creation of a positive and healthy working environment can lead to improved product quality. Environmental quality indicators, participation in the greening of events, the ability of regions or individual venues to host “green” events can also attract environmentally responsible event organizers to further cooperation. In addition, the greening of an event can create a positive informational occasion and increase the prestige of the event itself, as well as the venue. Improving the public image will help expand the circle of participants, involve the public, the media, minimize potential conflicts and provide support from government authorities.
