Sustainability

Industry@Tallinn & Baltic Event has been certified according to Greentime’s Certified Sustainable Event standard for the past two editions, in 2024 and 2025. We are committed to continuing this work and aim to achieve certification again for the 2026 edition.

Our sustainability approach is built around three pillars – environmental, social and economic responsibility. We consider sustainability across all aspects of the event, from reducing our environmental impact and using resources responsibly to supporting accessibility, inclusivity and wellbeing.

As part of the 2026 edition, we will continue developing our sustainability efforts and highlighting relevant topics and discussions across the programme.

What We Are Doing?

Some of our ongoing initiatives include:

• Our main event venue, Nordic Hotel Forum, is centrally located and easily accessible via public transport or within walking distance from most key locations.
• To promote eco-friendly transport, we’ve partnered with the City of Tallinn to provide free public transport for our guests. Attendees can travel around the city and from the airport by scanning their personal QR code, which is sent via email.
• Our venue, Nordic Hotel Forum, holds a Green Key certification and an international sustainability and real estate quality mark, BREEAM In-Use. The hotel follows eco-friendly practices, including water and energy conservation, the use of eco-labelled products, and the promotion of sustainability to its staff.
• Recycling and composting bins are available throughout the event space, provided by the hotel.
• We prioritise sustainable materials for signage, promotional items, and catering supplies. Digital signage is preferred, and we use recycled or biodegradable materials when necessary.
• Our catering services focus on local products, offering lunch and evening options that include local fish, chicken, and vegan choices.
• We have established safer space guidelines to encourage respectful dialogue and swiftly address harassment.
• Gender balance and intersectionality are key to our selection of participants for prominent roles, ensuring equitable participation. We also create opportunities for young talent through workshops, networking, and mentoring.
• Our programme features discussions on climate change, social justice, and sustainable production practices.
• We are committed to accessibility by carefully selecting venues, including evening event locations, that are wheelchair accessible or making necessary adjustments to enhance access.
