Corporate Responsibility Centre
Stand G202
Powered by GMIC
| New for 2010 the Corporate Responsibility Centre at IMEX is 'Powered by GMIC' (the Green Meeting Industry Council). The Council was formed to improve meeting management practices by promoting environmentally responsible strategies through the collaborative efforts of the hospitality industry, corporations, government and community organisations. |   |
The Corporate Responsibility Centre will give both exhibitors and visitors a chance to increase their awareness and knowledge of both environmental and social responsibility. The Centre will offer expert advice, tool kits and case studies and will be built from environmentally responsible stand materials by fairservices.net. 2009 Green Exhibitor Award winner Estoril Congress Centre will supply 'green' furniture and recycling bins for the centre. Visitors will have the opportunity to discuss their particular CSR programme, understand how to develop one from scratch, or simply pick up tips for improvements. The Centre will provide an essential aid in helping organisations to remain competitive and increase value by staying on top of trends and challenges. |

New 'Power' Sessions and Drinks Reception
New for 2010, the Corporate Responsibility Centre together with the Green Meeting Industry Council is proud to host several environmental ‘power’ sessions. These are a series of short, drop-in workshops that will run throughout the day at the Centre. They will include case studies from previous award winners and ‘how to go green’ power-sessions with advice about where and how to start, as well as information on more advanced green policies and practices.
Green Globe, the premier certification for sustainable travel and tourism, now offers its expertise for planning green meetings. In 2010 Green Globe will certify more than 300 conference centres and other meeting venues across Europe. Visit the Green Globe stand at IMEX to learn more about green meetings and come and listen to their power-session at the Corporate Responsibility Centre.
