Green Events & Meetings

Less footprint. More impact.

brandmood is your certified event agency for sustainable events.

We certify your event or meeting according to the Austrian Ecolabel UZ62 for Green Meetings & Green Events. To help you understand what makes a Green Event and how the process works, we’ve compiled the most important questions for you here:

“Green Events” are sustainable events that focus on ecological, social, economic, and cultural aspects. This responsible approach ensures the careful use of resources and supports the regional economy. Whether it’s a conference, convention, or corporate celebration – events can be organized in a low-waste, climate-friendly, and socially fair way.

As an experienced event agency certified with the Austrian Ecolabel UZ62, brandmood is your partner for planning and delivering Green Events in Austria and beyond. We ensure resource-efficient execution, work with regional partners, and integrate climate-friendly solutions into every detail of your event.
