Once we arrive at our destination, it's now a matter of selecting a climate-friendly conference room. Here's what we need to consider:
Bright, quiet and well tempered: The ideal meeting room is quiet, well-tempered and lets in plenty of light - this saves us the energy needed for artificial light sources and also creates an ambience in which meeting participants feel particularly comfortable and can concentrate well. Perfect if the seminar room has a lot of nature in front of it, which invites you to linger and reflect during the breaks.
Sustainable equipment: Of course, a successful Green Meeting should not be without the right equipment: Tables, chairs, pin boards, notepads and pens - all of these should ideally be produced from sustainable materials, such as recycled paper and renewable wood. In addition, it is important to ensure that the equipment comes from manufacturers in the region if possible - in other words, that it has not been transported long distances. We use green electricity to power laptops and beamers in a climate-friendly way.
Brain food for in-between: Drinks and snacks are essential to promote concentration. Highly sugary and fatty snacks are not helpful, however - instead, we rely on fresh water and healthy smoothies, nuts, muesli bars and fruit. Again, all products should come from the region if possible, contain lots of good nutrients, and be certified organic.
