Sustainability

Hosting a conference with a focus on sustainability in Aarhus is easy. Aarhus aims to be one of Denmark's leading climate cities and 72 percent of the city’s hotel rooms have received an official environmental certification. Also many meeting venues and restaurants in Aarhus have received certifications and with everything in walking distance, no transportation is needed in the city centre. 

CO2 neutral in 2030

With the city’s aim of being carbon neutral in 2030, public as well as private, initiatives for a more sustainable future are increasing. This also reflects on your conference, where you can serve food with local ingredients, use certified venues with consideration for the climate and social responsibility as well as use greener transport and much, much more.
