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

Sustainable travel options

The new initiative ‘Train Take Over’: Traveling by train from London to Amsterdam emits significantly less CO2 than flying, making it a sustainable travel option.
Also new ‘Slinger’: Our ride-sharing widget helps attendees share rides, reducing emissions, easing parking congestion, and offering networking opportunities.
sustainable hotel

Sustainable accommodation

Green hotels: We promote only eco-friendly hotels that uphold sustainable practices, ensuring a lower environmental impact for attendees.
sustainable catering

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.
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.
Circular event materials: We offer sustainable furniture, LED lighting, modular stand construction, and plant-based catering.

no waste

Digital and paperless initiatives

Digital floor plan: Paperless environment, so no printed maps, ensuring always up-to-date access while minimizing paper usage.

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 ‘Train Take Over’ and ‘Slinger’, we can work together to make GreenTech a leader in responsible event management.
