Introducing Green Meetings - The ONLY Standard for Sustainable Meetings & Events for 25 Years.

For over 25 years Green Tourism has assessed and accredited the sustainable practices of businesses. Now, we’ve created a new standard specific to meetings and events venues.

700 venues and hotels across the UK are already using our Green Tourism standard to provide reassurance to their procurement teams.

Public and corporate sector venues onboard include: Olympia, Manchester International Conference Centre, Edinburgh International Conference Centre, Manchester United, Leeds University, BMA House, Central Hall Westminster, Glaziers Hall, and the QE2 Centre.

Through extensive research and engagement with our clients, we’ve learned they want to communicate to corporate buyers that their business has achieved a meetings specific standard, one which benefits from Green Tourism’s established credibility.

We have listened and acted and after a year in development, we will launch the new Green Meetings Standard. We would love you to join us in this online event.

Hear from our wonderful range of speakers how they use the Green Meetings Standard to drive messaging to their audiences. And how having the standard validates investment in sustainability to their economic buyers.
