Commitment to sustainability
Throughout human history, we have organised ourselves into larger and larger structures, from the first tribes of our prehistory to today's megacities.
In recent decades we have become aware that our living space is not limited to the structures we inhabit, but extends to the entire planet and that our actions have a global influence.
This has led us to consider with increasing interest and necessity the sustainability of everything we do so that the impact on the environment that allows us to exist is as small as possible.
Therefore, it is our duty and responsibility to seek and implement sustainability measures so that we can all enjoy an environmentally responsible and sustainable congress.
We have developed the following initiatives to improve sustainability:
First, we have identified the rooms that have the best lighting and conditioning in order to reduce the need for energy expenditure.
Second, we have defined a collection of metrics to implement and evaluate different sustainability-related initiatives. These metrics include number of vegan menus consumed, proximity of the food served on the menus, number of public transport trips made by attendees and hours of the day when the electricity is switched off.
Finally, we have worked on the production and application of sustainable badges made from recycled materials.
