Green Business Events is an initiative from the General Directorate for Tourism of the Ministry of the Economy.
Enhance your Eco-Friendly Business Events
The Green Business Events logo is assigned by the General Directorate for Tourism of the Ministry of the Economy.
It certifies that a business event respects certain criteria of eco-friendliness and inclusivity.
The aim of the logo is to reduce the ecological footprint of business events organised in Luxembourg and promote and enhance eco-friendly events.
In order to support event organisers in their move toward responsibility, advisors from IMS Luxembourg offer individualised support.

The Green Business Events Initiative
The Green Business Events initiative was launched at the start of 2023 by the General Directorate for Tourism of the Ministry of the Economy as a counterpart to the Green Events initiative.
Its aim is to promote eco-friendly business events in Luxembourg and to develop sustainable event solutions in collaboration with sector stakeholders.
The criteria for the logo were co-created with industry professionals through interviews and workshops, then tested at pilot events to ensure they reflect the sector's real-world needs and challenges.
Green Business Events is open to any type of event from the business events sector: conferences, congresses, conventions, exhibitions, trade shows, and corporate and incentive events.
