KIVI and Greenbookings: working together on sustainable events
Sustainability as part of knowledge sharing and meetings
KIVI works with Greenbookings to reduce the impact of meetings, meetings and events. With this cooperation, KIVI contributes to making the events industry more sustainable and stimulates awareness about sustainable choices among organisers and visitors. Greenbookings supports venues in reducing their ecological footprint and links sustainable initiatives to concrete actions, such as tree planting and knowledge sharing within the sector.
For KIVI, this collaboration ties in with the social role of engineers. Engineers work daily on solutions to complex issues in the fields of energy, climate, circularity and sustainability. By also making its own activities and events more sustainable, KIVI is putting these ambitions into practice.
Why?
The monumental KIVI building at Prinsessegracht in The Hague is not only home to the professional society of engineers, but also a location for meetings, lectures, training courses and business events. Precisely because many professionals, organisations and knowledge partners come together here every year, KIVI sees opportunities to make sustainable choices visible and accessible.
The cooperation with Greenbookings helps in this respect by:
- raising awareness around the impact of events;
- Making carbon reduction and compensation more accessible for organisers;
- sharing knowledge and experiences about sustainable events;
- contributing to biodiversity and climate initiatives through tree planting;
- stimulating sustainable development within the events industry
What does Greenbookings do?
Greenbookings is an independent not-for-profit foundation committed to a more sustainable events and meetings industry. Through affiliated venues, a contribution is linked to bookings, which supports tree-planting projects, among others. In addition, Greenbookings acts as a knowledge platform for sustainable initiatives, cooperation and innovation within the sector.
Together with partners, Greenbookings works to reduce the environmental impact of events and encourage sustainable choices by clients, venues and visitors. The foundation's ambition is to make a growing annual contribution to making the industry more sustainable.
A collaboration that matches KIVI's mission
KIVI connects engineers, encourages knowledge exchange and contributes to solutions for societal challenges. The cooperation with Greenbookings is in line with this mission by making sustainability a concrete part of the activities taking place within KIVI.
In addition, the proceeds from the rental of the association building are fully used for the association and its activities. In this way, every meeting not only contributes to professional development and knowledge sharing, but also to social impact and a more sustainable future.
