It is our belief that by employing a Green Culture in the workplace we can duplicate this culture and the responsibilities it entails. Organising green congresses all over Europe is a real challenge as green is not only the onsite conduct but the suppliers we are using, the source of the raw materials, the methods of production, management of waste, shipping vs. using local products and fair management of labor throughout the supply chain. 7 CERTIFICATE OF ATTENDANCE & CONGRESS ACCREDITATION CERTIFICATE OF ATTENDANCE Certificates of attendance will be available at the pre-paid registration stations from 14:00 on Monday, 5 March until the end of sessions on Tuesday, 6 March.
