Bella Center signs an accord to create the world's first sustainable meetings region

Together with other partners, the largest Congress Center in Scandinavia, Bella Center, has signed an accord to create the world’s first sustainable meetings region.

Bella Center has an ongoing focus on sustainability in connection to all aspects of the business. Therefore, the largest congress venue in Scandinavia has chosen to sign an accord to create the world’s first sustainable meetings region.

The accord is signed by a host of convention bureaus, destination marketing organisations, venues and agencies from the five Scandinavian member countries of the International Congress and Convention Association. The countries include Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden and all have signed the accord to become the world's first sustainable meetings region.

‘’For Bella Center it is an obligation to be a part of the initiatives taken to encourage our region to become a sustainable event destination. We already have a great focus on sustainability and being a part of this collaboration with other Nordic partners fits well with our sustainable strategy,’’ explains the Congress and Events Director Lene Mortensen.

The accord outlines 10 specific actions that all signatories agree to commit to; its purpose is to advance sustainable development within the meetings and events industry. The accord was signed at the annual meeting of the ICCA Scandinavian Chapter in Tampere, Finland.

By the time of writing there are more than 40 signatories. And in the coming months the chapter will expand the number of signatories by contacting business leaders across the five countries.
