'Green Business Events' logo
Last update
The 'Green Business Events' logo is issued by the General Directorate for Tourism of the Ministry of the Economy to environmentally responsible business events organised in Luxembourg.
To obtain the logo for your event, you must fulfil various eco-responsibility and inclusivity criteria, determined jointly with the actors involved in the sector.
The coordinator of the project, IMS Luxembourg, offers you personalised support, regardless of the size of your event, with a view to assisting you in your efforts to promote sustainable event solutions.
Events that have obtained the logo are listed on the 'Green Business Events' initiative's website.
Who is concerned
You can apply for the 'Green Business Events' logo if you are organising a business event and you are:
- a business;
- an association;
- another entity (e.g. a tourist office).
Prerequisites
The logo is assigned to a specific event organised on a specific date. For recurrent (e.g. annual) events, a new logo application must be submitted for each edition.
The event must:
- take place on the territory of Luxembourg; and
- take the form of a conference, convention, exhibition, fair or show, business event or incentive.
Costs
Support and personalised counselling for the awarding of the logo are free of charge and paid for by the General Directorate for Tourism.
How to proceed
Submitting the application
To use the logo, you must submit a request to IMS Luxembourg at least 3 months before the date of the event.
Applications submitted after this deadline require the approval of the Ministry of the Economy.
Personalised support
IMS Luxembourg offers personalised support to assist you in your procedure.
To obtain the logo, you must take part in a compulsory interview with the IMS Luxembourg team on the ecological management of your event.
You must also submit the duly completed checklist together with the supporting documents (specified in the checklist) to IMS Luxembourg.
How to obtain the logo
The criteria that must be met in order to obtain the logo are listed in the 'Green Business Events' checklist (see 'Online services and forms'). They are structured around 7 themes:
- communication;
- exhibition stands & furniture;
- mobility;
- sustainable catering;
- waste;
- water & energy;
- accessibility & inclusivity.
To obtain the 'Green Business Events' logo, the event must meet:
- all the mandatory criteria; and
- 50% of the optional criteria applying to the event.
If these conditions are met, you sign a charter of commitment, in which you undertake to respect the eco-responsible criteria for your event.
You will receive the logo in digital form for the event in question. The logo may be used on any communication medium before and during the event.
The General Directorate for Tourism reserves the right for the IMS Luxembourg to attend the event in order to verify that the criteria are met. Failure to meet any of those criteria will entail the loss of the logo.
Publication
After the event, send your photos and a testimonial to IMS Luxembourg for publication on the greenbusinessevents.lu website.
