Sustainability

We do our best to minimize our environmental footprint!

Sustainability is important to us!

We attach great importance to sustainability and organize this event as sustainably as possible.
The following measures support our participants by booking your Tickets:

Food and catering

  1. We only use porcelain and glass dishes - everything is washed and can be reused.

  2. We offer vegan and vegetarian food options and try to keep the carbon footprint of our food to a minimum.

  3. The Estrel Hotel tries to make its cuisine as regional as possible. Among other things, the hotel has its own 45 square meter greenhouse on the roof of the hotel for its own kitchen, uses regional suppliers from the Berlin-Brandenburg region and produces its own bee honey, for example.

  4. Unused food is to be reused in the hotel. Through "Estrel Share", snacks and meals from overproduction are made available to Estrel employees free of charge. In addition, the "Too Good To Go" app distributes surplus food that would otherwise end up in the garbage can to those in need.

Energy, heating, accommodation

  1. Room temperatures are actively controlled throughout the conference hotel and lowered overnight.

  2. Energy-saving light bulbs and energy-saving appliances are used in all rooms and areas of the hotel.

  3. The hotel operates its own 160 kWh photovoltaic system to generate electricity for its visitors.

  4. The CO2 emissions generated in connection with rental linen (including towels, bed linen, tablecloths, etc.) in the hotel are calculated and offset by means of greenhouse gas compensation in a certified reforestation project in Colombia.

Arrival, mobility, visitor behavior

  1. The conference hotel is best reached by public transport. The Sonnenallee S-Bahn station can be reached from the airport and the main railway station in around 30 minutes - and the S-Bahn is the recommended way to get here in Berlin traffic.

  2. We offer all participants discounted conditions with Deutsche Bahn for the journey to the event and thus motivate them to travel by train.

  3. The hotel offers on-site charging facilities for electric cars in the underground parking garage.

  4. We organize the event at a single location. The conference and hotel rooms are within walking distance of each other.

  5. CO2 emissions are avoided during the event through transfers and travel to and from the event for overnight stays at locations away from the event.

Advertising material, prints, furniture

  1. We try to avoid print documents as much as possible and communicate digitally for the most part at the event. Our conference app enables participants to have a good conference experience on site without printed materials.

  2. The stand construction on site is realized by the stand builder with reusable Octanorm walls. The furniture on the stands and in the venue is also rental furniture that can be used several times.

  3. Furniture from the conference hotel is used on site for seating, catering etc. No furniture is delivered to the hotel, thus minimizing emissions.

  4. We usually send surplus advertising material back to our partners and sponsors for recycling.

  5. Participant management is implemented purely digitally.
