- with a local touch from The Habitat
Choose an Eco-Certified Venue:
Encourage Green Transportation:
Select venues committed to sustainability. The Habitat offers several certified meeting spaces, including the Sinatur Hotel Group, the first B Corp certified hotel group in Northern Europe, ensuring high environmental standards for your event. Go
Digital:
Reduce paper waste by opting for digital invitations, agendas, and handouts. Use apps or online platforms to share information and engage participants before, during, and after the event. Ask your adviser which meeting venues offer digital solutions for hybrid meetings and other environmentally friendly practices.
Source Local and Seasonal Catering:
Promote carpooling, public transport, or biking/walking between venues. Consider organizing shuttles, especially to venues near major transportation hubs like Billund Airport, less than an hour away from many of The Habitat’s meeting spaces.
Reduce single-use plastics:
Provide reusable water bottles, glasses, and cutlery to minimize single-use plastics. We can work with local artisans to provide sustainable, handmade tableware to elevate your meeting’s green profile.
Offset Carbon Emissions:
In Central and Southern Denmark, the area is rich with local farms and producers. Serve organic produce from Månsson, one of Denmark’s largest organic vegetable producers, or include New Nordic cuisine that highlights seasonal ingredients grown just a few kilometers away.
Many venues, like those at The Habitat, can help you organize carbon-neutral meetings. Partner with local conservation programs, such as reforestation projects, to offset your event’s carbon footprint.
Engage in Sustainable Teambuilding Activities:
Take advantage of the region’s natural beauty by incorporating outdoor teambuilding activities like forest walks or visiting Denmarks Lillebælt nature parc to reconnect your team with nature while fostering collaboration.
Minimize Energy Consumption:
Opt for venues that use renewable energy sources, such as solar power nearby, or have energy-efficient practices in place, such as Comwell, who has a goal of being CO2 neutral in its own operations by 2030 or Scandic, which is Denmark’s only Nordic Ecolabelled hotel
Incorporate Recycling Stations:
Set up accessible recycling stations and encourage attendees to separate recyclables, compostables, and waste. Partner with local waste management services that are pioneers in Denmark’s recycling initiatives. Measure and Share Your
Impact:
After an event, calculate the positive environmental impact of sourcing locally and reducing waste. Share the results with attendees to inspire future sustainable efforts. Highlight local contributions, to show how your meeting supported the region.
