An event the size of Conventa could never have been organised without our diligent team members. Recently, we welcomed Neža Brezovnik, who will bring professionalism and ebullient, youthful energy to the team.
Neža Brezovnik previously worked as a Project Manager at ENKI agency, gaining invaluable experience in the industry. In her new role, Neža will ensure hosted buyers feel welcome well before the show starts.
Conventa’s team members will also ensure the event is as sustainable as possible by implementing green measures.
Read the ten tips below and reduce your carbon footprint within the Conventa team.
10 WAYS TO REDUCE CARBON FOOTPRINT
Arriving at work
If possible, opt for public transport instead of cars or taxis. Moreover, decide to cycle or walk to work
when possible. Consider the necessity of going on business trips and replace them with video
conferences from our studio.
Avoid plastic
Avoid all types of plastic, particularly plastic food containers. Make sure to strictly sort and recycle
plastic and waste. On average, we use about 150 to 300 plastic bags every year. Always use
reusable shopping bags instead.
Cover short distances on foot
When possible, go to meetings in Ljubljana by public transport or bicycle, or cover short distances on foot.
Choose quality over quantity
Less purchasing equals less waste. If you cannot avoid shopping, choose products that can be
mended and last longer. Purchase used or recycled products when possible.
Reduce the amount of office paper
Stop printing documents for meetings, reports or hard copies of electronic messages. Set double-sided printing as your default setting. If you must print, opt for recycled FSC/PEFC certified paper.
Locally produced food
Choose locally produced food, and consider reducing the amount of meat and other products
of animal origin you consume. That way, you will make a valuable contribution to saving
energy and fuel, thus reducing your carbon footprint.
Save energy
Replace standard light bulbs with energy efficient ones and turn off lights whenever they are not used. Shut off computers and other devices that are not in use. Additionally, manage energy-efficient cooling and heating systems.
Drink healthy water
Ljubljana is renowned for its drinkable water. Pour yourself a glass of tap water instead of bottled
water. Thus, you will contribute to reducing plastic waste and, will be consuming a much cheaper solution than by buying more expensive bottled water.
Reduce the amount of waste
Avoid single-use products such as paper cups, plastic containers and towels. Strictly recycle all waste into purposefully placed rubbish bins.
Give away useful items
After your events, make sure to give away useful items others might need.
