Sustainability is of paramount importance in our industry.
A city as culturally rich as Athens hosting a sustainable meeting is an opportunity to inspire positive change. As the global community recognizes the urgent need to address environmental and social challenges, the meetings sector plays a vital role in driving positive change. Here are some of our initiatives towards this:
We encourage attendees to use public transportation or eco-friendly options to reach our venue which is well located in the heart of the city and within 2’ walking distance from metro station.
We will try to minimize printed materials and use digital and mobile apps instead.
We partner with local recycling and waste management services to ensure proper waste disposal and recycling at the venue.
We will collaborate with caterers who prioritize sustainable sourcing such as locally grown ingredients and limit the use of single-use plastics.
We will work with the venue to optimize energy use as much as possible.
Wherever possible, we will source supplies and products locally to support the Athens community and reduce the carbon footprint associated with shipping.
We will invest in carbon offset programs or initiatives that can compensate for the environmental impact.
More details will be announced soon.
Our team will partner with a selected list of non-profit organisations focusing on social responsibility, with the aim to offer back to the local community through a specially designed donation program and with the active engagement of attendees on social responsibility actions. We plan to organise a mini Marathon starting and ending at the Panathenaic Stadium, the site where the first modern Olympic Games took place, showcasing the history and heritage of the city of Athens.
