goMICE is committed to optimizing all our services and activities for the benefit of the planet.
We put everything in place to maintain our reputation as a key market player in the MICE industry through the implementation of serval important environmental programs:
Every organisation has different sustainability ambitions. While one client focuses on CO₂ reduction, another targets social impact or sustainable procurement. That is why, for every event, meeting or incentive, we look at how to translate these objectives into concrete choices within the programme.
Transport is often the largest source of emissions within a business trip. That is why we actively think along about alternatives that fit your organisation's sustainability ambitions.
That could mean, for example, that we:
Selecting destinations that are reachable by train
Choosing locations closer to home
Organising an incentive in the Netherlands instead of abroad
Promote public transport and shared transport during the programme
For various clients, we have thus developed programmes based on train travel within Europe or even entirely Dutch itineraries.
When selecting hotels and venues, we take sustainability labels and initiatives into account. Depending on the client's wishes, we can, for example, choose accommodations with a Green Key certification or locations that actively invest in energy saving, waste reduction and corporate social responsibility.
Sustainability goes beyond reducing emissions. Social impact is also playing an increasingly important role within corporate events and travel.
Therefore, we are happy to help brainstorm programme components that contribute to the destination or local community. Think of collaborations with social enterprises, local initiatives, or activities where participants give something back to the environment in a positive way.
Where possible, we work with local suppliers, choose seasonal products and limit unnecessary transport. We also take a critical look at materials, print work and other components of an event or trip.
We do not believe in a standard sustainable solution. Every organisation has different objectives, desires and possibilities. That is why we work together to find the right balance between impact, experience and practical feasibility.
That is how we ensure that sustainability does not become a mandatory part of the programme, but a natural part of the experience.
We partner with one of the leading organizations in the field of climate change and climate compensation: Anthesis.
This collaboration allows us to offer our clients ways to travel more conscious and an easy solution to reduce the impact of meetings and events. For the compensation of an (incentive) trip or event, we use smart tools that calculate the emissions, which can be compensated by pre-selected (international) charities.
To keep sustainability top of mind within our organization, we have appointed a team of sustainability ambassadors who take care of:
