Green Meetings in Pontresina
All events at the Pontresina Congress and Cultural Centre leave a small ecological footprint. It is the first and only congress centre in Switzerland to meet the comprehensive sustainability criteria for the "Sustainable Company" Certification from the Expo-Event Live Communication Association.
A corporate entity can only call itself a "Sustainable Company" when it achieves sufficient performance in terms of energy use, waste avoidance and mobility as well as employee responsibility. For example, the congress centre is powered by 100% certified green electricity and the lighting has been converted to LED.
