The plan is to create a sustainable event and certify it according to the Austrian Green Ecolabel which allows the certification of a whole event. The venues where the event takes place as well as Kenes Group participants are involved and committed in the greening process to create a really sustainable event. The Green Ecolabel demonstrates environmentally conscious as well as socially responsible management of a meeting and is committed to the preservation of the bases of life and pays attention to the well-being of participants as well as of staff members.
