Building on the successes and challenges of the past year, the organizers of DrupalCon Barcelona 2024 are dedicated to delivering a more sustainable event with a positive impact for all. In continuation of our partnership with Terra Verde, we remain committed to advancing sustainability initiatives and creating lasting positive change.
“Sustainable tourism should not be considered a special form of tourism, rather all forms of tourism should strive to become more sustainable.” OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation & Development).
What we do towards the sustainability?
Our goal is to create a more sustainable and responsible conference, benefiting not only the environment but also making a positive impact on attendees and the event industry as a whole. To do so, we ensure the following:
- As a venue, the CCIB Barcelona implements a wide range of sustainable solutions, ensuring attendees enjoy both comfort and accessibility while aligning with sustainability practices.
- Our focus is on minimizing food waste throughout the event while providing vegetarian, organic, and locally sourced options.
- Collaborating with local suppliers and partners.
- Reducing the production of conference materials and printing.
- Digitalizing wherever possible.
- Opting for high-quality products and/or recyclable materials when digitalization is not feasible.
- Engage sponsors and exhibitors in discussions on how they can contribute to our sustainability mission.
- Calculate the conference's carbon footprint to optimize for upcoming DrupalCons Europe.
