Sustainability and Green Meetings

Vienna welcomes its visitors with fresh air – no other city in Europe has a higher proportion of green spaces. Parks and gardens make up almost half of the city, which gives your participants plenty of opportunity to enjoy nature. Sustainability is a major topic for Vienna in general – at the Vienna Convention Bureau we can give you all the support and advice you need for certifying your meeting with the Austrian Ecolabel for Green Meetings & Green Events once it meets all the necessary criteria. Into the great outdoors!

Meet green visions on concrete paths.

Exemplary Vienna:

  • Vienna is the internationally recognized capital of environmental protection, setting an example in water supply, wastewater management, waste disposal and air quality management
  • In Vienna, pure spring water comes directly out of the city's drinking water taps
  • Close to 50% of the city is accounted for by green spaces
  • The Vienna Convention Bureau offers guidance on sustainability and can certify your meeting in accordance with the Austrian Ecolabel
