Amsterdam RAI Leading the Way in Sustainability

Amsterdam RAI has become the first convention centre in Europe to meet the requirements of the Green Globe for two consecutive years and achieved the prestigious Green Globe Silver status. This status underlines Amsterdam RAI’s leading role in the European MICE (meetings, incentives, conventions & exhibitions) market in terms of environmental friendliness.

When the international Green Globe program awarded the Bronze status to Amsterdam RAI in 2008, the convention and exhibition centre officially became a Green Globe Benchmarked Company. The new Silver status was presented after the Green Globe report noted further improvements in comparison to the initial benchmark.

In fact the 2009 report shows that the indicators for water consumption, waste production, choice of paper and organic cleaning products is above the Best Practice level of the benchmarks of other certified exhibition and convention centers. The RAI also achieved positive results in a variety of other fields.
