<\/p>\n
First of all, here are a few things you can consider to reduce your ecological footprint:<\/strong><\/p>\n Let participants arrive at the event via electric transport and travel together as much as possible. This reduces the number of mobility movements. This can be done, for example, by organising transport yourselves or by using a carpooling app that makes travelling together easy and accessible.<\/p>\n For a sustainable stay in Amsterdam, you can choose from the following energy-neutral hotels, among others:<\/p>\n This luxurious \u2018green\u2019 four-star hotel is one of the first energy-neutral hotels in the Netherlands. Opened in 2018 and located on Java Island, the very spot where the scheduled service to Indonesia once departed, this hotel makes guests feel as though they are travelling in Indonesia without leaving Amsterdam. The hotel is built for 80% from sustainable wood and is self-sufficient in its electricity, heating, and air conditioning supply. The large green courtyard is a beautiful place, the beds are wonderful, and the view is sublime. Skybar Malabar is an ideal spot to organise a celebratory event, with panoramic views over Amsterdam! Furthermore, in restaurant \u2018Caf\u00e9 Jakarta\u2019, your party will be taken on a culinary journey of discovery where East meets West. Naturally, local products are served here. As a sustainable finale, kitchen waste is composted.<\/p>\n This four-star hotel is situated on the waterfront, by the IJburg harbour, a 15-minute drive from Dam Square. The concept of this energy-neutral hotel is inspired by the four classical elements of antiquity: Wind, Earth, Water, and Fire. These were historically considered crucial sources of energy. All rooms have a unique design and are modernly and stylishly furnished using recycled materials. The restaurant serves delicious local seasonal dishes and recycles as much as possible. The Wind Skybar offers a stunning view over the IJmeer and its banks, Durgerdam, and the IJburg marina. The atmospheric space can be flexibly arranged, making this location ideal for organising a spectacular sustainable event.<\/p>\n Did you know that one-third of all food produced ends up being wasted?! Sustainable restaurants find this a shame, and therefore the chefs of several Amsterdam restaurants are cooking with produce that would otherwise go to waste. A \u2018Masterclass Sustainable Cooking\u2019 at a cool location in the heart of Amsterdam is, of course, also a possibility. Delicious food guaranteed\u2026 We know the right places in our capital city!<\/p>\n In Amsterdam, many venues can be found where environmentally conscious meetings can be held. From a small meeting at a sustainable geWOONboot, The Office en The Board<\/strong> up to a more corporate meeting CIRCL<\/strong>; a fully circular built location, made from reused and reusable materials. Or at the NSDM site<\/strong>, an area where anything is possible: from an intimate meeting to a grand party!<\/p>\n Furthermore, Amsterdam is the proud host of one of the most sustainable stadiums in the world: the Johan Cruijff ArenA.<\/strong> They use a mix of proven sustainability measures and innovative technology. This not only supplies the stadium with energy but also the immediate surroundings! For example, the stadium has over 4,200 solar panels on the roof and has been using Europe's largest \u2018second life\u2019 megabattery in a commercial building since 2018. The three-megawatt storage system consists of, among other things, second-hand batteries from electric vehicles. This megabattery ensures a reliable and efficient energy supply and use for (and by) the stadium, its visitors, neighbours, and the Dutch energy grid. So, what do you think of a sustainable meeting at this fantastic location?! From a meeting in a luxurious sky lounge with a view of the stadium or a professional online or hybrid event, to a spectacular seminar or an exclusive gala dinner on the football pitch!<\/p>\n When you give something, you want to leave something behind: a special and lasting impression of your organisation for your employees or relations. We'd be happy to help you find a suitable and sustainable corporate gift from Amsterdam, based on your objective, theme, or the occasion.<\/p>\n The municipality of Amsterdam has drawn up a sustainability plan for large events and will only issue permits for events organised sustainably in terms of energy, water, waste, and transport. To facilitate the sustainability of events, the municipality has installed power points at frequently used event locations in recent years, reducing the need for temporary facilities and transport movements. goMICE will gladly assist you in following this policy and arranging a sustainability certificate if necessary.<\/p>\n As you can see, there are plenty of simple (small) steps that can be taken to make your next one- or multi-day event in Amsterdam more sustainable.<\/p>\n Would you like more tips and information on organising meetings or events sustainably?
