EU Presidency 2012 venues certified with Green Key
In 2012, Denmark will host the Presidency of the Council of the European Union. As a result, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs will organise over 100 meetings from Jan 1st to June 30th, attracting more than 15.000 participants (including 400 ministers and 2000 press) visiting Copenhagen and the city of Horsens in central Jutland.
The majority of meetings in connection with the EU Presidency 2012 Denmark will be held at companies awarded with the international eco-label Green Key. Foreign Ministry Eigtveds Pakhus (pictured) has just been approved to Green Key, while Bella Center and Bella Sky Comwell in Copenhagen are already rewarded with the label.
In Horsens Hotel Opus in 2009 was awarded with Green Key, while the Forum Horsens is currently undergoing the process of being labeled and is anticipated to be awarded certification before EU meetings begin in May.
In addition to venues, accommodations for the meetings will also be hotels which have met sustainability criteria for Green Key certification.
