Sustainability
Copenhagen is one of the greenest cities in the world, and we’re committed to making DTW Ignite a sustainable event.
Learn about sustainability and network efficiency in conference sessions, and see how you can contribute while at DTW Ignite.
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
- We’re reducing our single-use plastic consumption including bags and straws.
- Event lanyards will also be made from recycled PET and will be recycled.
- QR codes will be used instead of printed brochures.
- Carbon and energy usage at the Bella Center will be tracked and considered as part of our footprint.
- Exhibitors are encouraged to utilize reusable or recycled materials.
- Plates and utensils are 100% compostable.
- All food provided during the event will be fresh and locally sourced.
Accommodation
Finding a sustainable place to stay in Copenhagen is easier than finding a non-sustainable one, as the majority of the city’s hotel rooms hold an official eco-certification.
- Remember to turn off the lights and turn down the AC before leaving your hotel room.
- Conserve water by doing your part to keep your showers short and shut off the water while brushing your teeth.
- Switch off all electrics at the end of each day.
Green on the Go
Mobility in Copenhagen is mostly green. The city is switching from diesel to electric buses, and the compact city center makes walking & cycling easy. Copenhagen is also one of the world’s most bike-friendly cities with 49% of locals commuting by bike every day.
- When booking staff flights, TM Forum will donate to the airlines’ carbon offset partner.
- We ask you to book non-stop flights whenever you can; it's the takeoffs and landings that create most of an airplane's carbon emissions.
- Consider flying with one of the 30+ IATA member airlines who offer carbon offset programs.
- Come to the venue each day on foot, or travel like a true Copenhagener and bike.
Refill
Bring your own water bottle to reduce cup waste. Danish tap water is world-class quality. Water stations will be set up in various locations.
