Bucharest is increasingly embracing sustainability, with a growing focus on green initiatives, environmental awareness, and urban development efforts aimed at creating a more eco-friendly city.
Green Spaces & Urban Renewal: The city has been expanding and maintaining its parks, such as Cișmigiu Gardens, Herăstrău Park, and Carol Park, offering green oases for both residents and visitors. These spaces contribute to biodiversity, reduce urban heat, and improve air quality. Recent urban renewal projects also focus on making public spaces more pedestrian-friendly.

The ILN has partnered with Dynamic Conferences & Events for our conferences. In 2022, they underwent their first full EcoVadis assessment of their environment, labor and human rights, and ethics practices and procedures, and they were awarded a bronze medal. Since then, they have improved their rating to silver across the three pillars, Environment, Social, and Governance. EcoVadis is the world's biggest and most trusted provider of business sustainability ratings. Learn more here.

Dynamic Events will be working closely with all the suppliers ensuring that the event is delivered as sustainably as possible. Their carbon calculating software, TRACE, will be used to track data and manage the environmental impact of our event activities.

The most significant environmental impact of our conferences comes from delegate travel. As part of our commitment to sustainability and our EcoVadis goals, we are actively tracking and measuring the environmental footprint of our events. To support this effort:
✔ Carbon Tracking: We now collect sustainability-related travel data during registration to assess and reduce our overall carbon footprint.
✔ Sustainable Travel Choices: We encourage delegates to choose lower-impact travel options where possible, such as trains over short-haul flights.
✔ Carbon Offsetting: ILN has partnered with ClimeCo, allowing delegates to offset their carbon emissions voluntarily. Delegates will receive more information on how to participate in this initiative via email.
✔ Eco-Friendly Event Planning: We continue to select venues and vendors that align with our sustainability values, reducing waste, eliminating single-use plastics, and prioritizing locally sourced food.
By working together, we can make a tangible impact while ensuring a thriving society and sustainable business practices for years to come.

The ILN is committed to responsible business practices that align with our long-term strategic goals. We continue to refine our initiatives to enhance the sustainability and efficiency of our operations while maintaining the integrity of our corporate governance.
✔ Sustainable Operations & Conferences: ILN has been a paper-free organization since 2022, including our office and events. Our conferences prioritize eco-conscious planning, such as reducing waste, eliminating single-use plastics, and sourcing locally whenever possible. We also provide an optional carbon offsetting program for delegates during registration and explore ways to minimize our event footprint. In recognition of our efforts, ILN has earned a Bronze EcoVadis rating, demonstrating our commitment to responsible business practices and environmental stewardship.
