\" We've been working for years to transform the exhibition and congress industry in Europe. a more sustainable and inclusive approach<\/strong>. We are proud to see Gothenburg receive the top prize in the Global Destination Sustainability Index Leadership Award every year since 2015. It's an award that crowns 30 years of promoting and transforming the MICE sector in our city.<\/em> \"explains Ulrika Scoli\u00e8ge.<\/p>\n

How does G\u00f6teborg make a difference when it comes to organising a sustainable and inclusive event? \" Since 1991, we have set standards that demonstrate our commitment to becoming the best possible sustainable destination. And to make Gothenburg the first choice for MICE organisers.<\/em> \"says Ulrika Scoli\u00e8ge.<\/p>\n

MICE in the sustainable development movement<\/span><\/h3>\n

This classification as the most sustainable city is in fact the result of exemplary cooperation between all the economic, tourism and social players. \" We are therefore convinced that MICE is not simply an economic factor generating revenue for the city. A major event must also help to improve everyday life<\/strong> of our citizens<\/em> \"she explains.<\/p>\n

In terms of sustainable development, Gothenburg is already a champion of green energy in its public transport. But that's not all: the famous Liseberg theme park, for example, runs on 100 % of renewable energy<\/strong>. G\u00f6teborg Landvetter International Airport, for its part, has had the highest level of environmental accreditation in Europe's carbon-neutral air transport programme since 2011.<\/p>\n

\" 95% of hotel rooms are also certified sustainable<\/strong>Many hotels also use wind turbines to supply electricity. Many hotels are also supplied with electricity by wind turbines. What's more, as most of them are in less than 15 minutes' walk from our congress and exhibition centre<\/strong> Svenska M\u00e4ssan, this reduces the use of cars for delegates and encourages public transport and walking.<\/em> \"says the head of G\u00f6teborg & Co.<\/p>\n

The city has other incentives. For example, it encourages people to travel to Gothenburg by train, whenever possible. \" For example, we are encouraging event organisers to promote the consumption of vegetarian or even vegan meals, as well as the production of food in short circuits\".<\/em>she explains.<\/p>\n

The conference, a source of knowledge for all<\/span><\/h3>\n

According to Ulrika Scoli\u00e8ge, the aim is to make G\u00f6teborg a carbon-neutral destination by 2030<\/strong>. \"\u00a0This objective will be achieved well ahead of international recommendations around the world.<\/em>\" she adds. The other aspect of sustainable development at the congress destination G\u00f6teborg is the social aspect of the events.<\/p>\n

\"\u00a0We are convinced that MICE events can have a positive impact on the development of our society. Like long-term transmission<\/strong>. For example, this year we will be hosting a congress on health protection. It should contribute to the well-being and education of our society. When we hosted the European Congress on Gerontology, for example, we organised a free conference open to all on ageing well. We even had an exhibition at the G\u00f6teborg Municipal History Museum.<\/em>\" explains Ulrika Scoli\u00e8ge. MICE activity synonymous with positive development for all? An idea worth exploring and adopting!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Boosted by its five consecutive awards as the world's most sustainable city, the G\u00f6teborg Convention Bureau wants to attract all organisers of MICE activities who want to give their event a more ecological and social dimension.
