Do good and talk about it


One of the aims of the Austrian Ecolabel for Green Meetings and Green Events is to make the commitment to environmental and climate protection visible to the outside world and thereby encourage all stakeholders, contributors and participants to consider the impact of their own actions. Targeted and integrated communication is therefore a prerequisite for successful certification right from the start.

Here you will find text templates and suggestions for filling the event website.

 

Templates

At least the following sentence must be included on all mailings and the event website from the outset.

 

  • We aim to organise this event in accordance to the guidelines of the Austrian Ecolabel for Green Meetings (UZ 62) in order to contribute to resource conservation, climate protection, regional added value and raising awareness.If you would like to learn more about our university's environmental commitment, have a look at the website of the Sustainability Coordination Office.*

 

* Once the event has been fully certified, we request that you replace the first sentence to: This event is organised in accordance to the guidelines of the Austrian Ecolabel for Green Meetings (UZ 62) in order to contribute to resource conservation, climate protection, but also regional added value and raising awareness.
