Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
A greener GreenTech
At GreenTech, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We are committed to reduce our environmental impact and creating a responsible event experience. Here are examples of how we are making GreenTech greener:
Carbon footprint reduction & responsible logistics
Footprint calculation: We continuously evaluate and implement actionable strategies to reduce our carbon footprint.
Green deal zero emission city logistics: RAI Amsterdam has committed to reducing harmful city logistics emissions to zero by 2025.
Clustered supplier transport: We work with regional suppliers to limit freight traffic and emissions.
Sustainable travel options
Share your ride with ‘Slinger’: Our ride-sharing widget helps attendees share rides, reducing emissions, easing parking congestion, and offering networking opportunities. Keep an eye on our website, because we will activate it in April 2025!
Sustainable accommodation
Green hotels: We promote only eco-friendly hotels that uphold sustainable practices, ensuring a lower environmental impact for attendees. Learn more >
Sustainable catering
Plant-based catering: All GreenTech-funded catering is 100% plant-based. This reduces our carbon footprint, promotes healthier choices, and supports sustainable agriculture.
Local & organic ingredients: Our chefs’ source fresh products from Amsterdam-based suppliers with a social or organic focus.
Food waste prevention: Together with the Salvation Army, we repurpose surplus food to provide meals for those in need.
Eco-Friendly stands and awards
Sustainable stand packages: We offer stand options designed to minimize waste and use eco-friendly materials. Learn more >
Innovation & Concept Awards: Sustainability is a key category, and the awards themselves are made from sustainable materials.
Sustainable products and services
Webshop: Our online store focuses on plant-based, eco-friendly products, each rated with an eco-score to guide responsible purchasing. Go to the webshop >
Circular event materials: We offer sustainable furniture, LED lighting, modular stand construction, and plant-based catering.

Digital and paperless initiatives
Waste management and recycling
Waste separation & recycling: Trash islands with waste watchers improve recycling efficiency and reduce landfill waste.
From waste to value: We collaborate with social initiatives to donate leftover materials and food, preventing waste and benefiting local communities.
No disposable plastic: From January 1, 2024, single-use plastic for on-site consumption is prohibited. Instead, reusable, and biodegradable materials will be used.
Together, we can make a change
By embracing these initiatives and adopting sustainable travel and event practices like the car-sharing initiative ‘Slinger’, we can work together to make GreenTech a leader in responsible event management.
