Adopting an eco-friendly approach when organising an event or visiting a city mainly lies in your choice of venue and service providers, but also in the promotion of local and responsible initiatives. Some of these initiatives have already been adopted by our social organisations, while other initiatives are still not well known and deserve your full attention.
