Sustainability
We are working towards reducing environmental impacts caused by a conference of this size. The following measures apply to minimise the ecological footprint of the SOLAS OSC 2024:
- In order to minimise our CO 2 footprint, we will offset the conference emissions by supporting emission saving projects. This will be done in cooperation with Atmosfair, a German non-profit organisation.
- Catering companies supporting the OSC avoid any plastic, such as disposable cutlery, dishes and unnecessary packaging and wrappings.
- We tried to use as many local partners and regional products as possible. This also includes the food provided by the caterers, at the reception, and the dinner.
- Posters and signs not used after the conference will be sponsored to local Kindergartens for arts and crafts.
- We will not print any unnecessary posters and signs for the onsite event but use electronically ones.
- We will not print an abstract book but use a PDF document.
- The nametags will be made environmentally friendly, with no plastic.
