Sustainability
In 2016 Rotterdam joined the Global Destination Sustainability Index. The city not only focusses on sustainability in the meeting industry but also under the umbrella of the Rotterdam Climate Initiative; the Port of Rotterdam Authority, Deltalinqs, DCMR Environmental Protection Agency Rijnmond and the City of Rotterdam work as partners to enhance the sustainability of the city, the port and the industrial complex. Rotterdam also participates in the Clinton Climate Initiative, C40, 100 Resilient Cities and Connecting Delta Cities. Our local partners have signed agreements initialized by the initiative to achieve a pleasant, green and safe city.
Green Key and Zero Waste initiatives
Hotels and other establishments participate in Green Key, a voluntary eco-label as well as the uniquely Rotterdam Initiative: Hotel Neutraal.
Most recently the City of Rotterdam has launched the Zero Waste Venues initiative to help venues achieve circular business practices with a multi-disciplinary approach, and together with Rotterdam Partners has developed the Collaboration for a Green Legacy in which congresses are invited to support Rotterdam’s ambitions to make the city as green as possible via various projects throughout
the city.
