Our sustainable approach
As signatories of the Glasgow Declaration, we are always trying to find ways to lower the carbon footprint of our press activities. We aim to organise our press trip visits using sustainable transport options. Once in the Netherlands we prioritise the use of public transport, cycling and walking during our trips and choose dining options that focus on vegetarian and vegan food. Green Key hotels and other sustainable accommodation options are used. Click here for our suggestions on sustainable travel packing.
