Dublin is on the crest of a green wave, offering a range of new initiatives for conference organisers keen to demonstrate their firms' commitment to corporate responsibility – and make the most of the associated PR benefits.

The 'greening' of your event could be as simple as choosing a venue with strong environmental credentials – something there is no shortage of in the Irish capital. But there are also many other steps you can take to make your event more eco-friendly, and Dublin Convention Bureau can guide you through them all.

What is a Green Meeting or event?
A green meeting incorporates environmental considerations throughout all stages of the meeting in order to minimise the negative impact on the environment and positively contribute to host communities.

Good for your business
Green meetings make good business sense, because they:
• save money by conserving resources
• create and enhance competitive advantage and reputation
• open up new or niche markets
• present positive opportunities for marketing, improve public relations and demonstrate a commitment to corporate responsibility.
