Sustainability Efforts
Copenhagen is one of the greenest cities in the world and we want to do our part. Discover which sessions to attend that cover sustainability and network efficiency, and see what sustainability efforts we're doing to make DTW Ignite a green event.
Our Efforts:
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
Copenhagen is one of the greenest cities in the world and we want to do our part.
- The event will reduce its single-use plastic consumption including bags and straws.
- Event lanyards will also be made from recycled PET and name badges will be recycled.
- QR codes will be used instead of printed brochures.
- Carbon and energy usage of the Bella Center will be tracked and considered as part of our footprint.
- It was recommended to our exhibitors that booth materials should be reusable and/or made with recyclable materials.
- Lunch ware served to our attendees is 100% compostable.
- All food provided during the event will be fresh and locally sourced.
Refill, Again and Again
Consider bringing your own water bottle for your time in Copenhagen. Danish tap water is world-class quality. Water stations will be set up in various locations.
To give back, anyone who brings their own water bottle and presents at registration, TM Forum and the sponsor will give a donation to Love Spring water, a Danish charity creating clean water projects in Africa.
Accommodation
Finding a sustainable place to stay in Copenhagen is actually easier than finding a non-sustainable one, as the majority of all 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
The city is encouraging green mobility by switching from diesel to electric buses, and the compact city center makes walking & cycling easy.
Copenhagen is 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.
- Arrive to the venue each day on foot, or travel like a true Copenhagener and arrive by bicycle.
