Sustainability Tips 

Go digital and limit paper usage 

The ESC has drastically reduced the number of documents it prints. To help reduce paper usage, 

we encourage you to access congress materials and schedules through the programme platform, which will be available in the coming months. 

Water, water everywhere 

Bring your own reusable water bottle to refill at the water stations located throughout the congress. If you don’t have one, all ACNAP Silver members can stop by the ACNAP Corner to get their own foldable cup to take home and keep using. 

Avoid traffic while you take the cleaner option 

Save time and reduce your impact on the environment by getting to the congress venue by public transport, the fastest, most cost-efficient and environmentally friendly option. 

If public transport is not a viable option for you, we encourage you to use low-emission vehicles.

Learn more about the various ways to reach the venue. 

Leave a smaller footprint when you travel 

If you must travel by plane, choose direct flights when possible to limit the carbon emissions. 

Make your stay more sustainable by choosing a Green Certified hotel* and benefit from negotiated rates. 

*To be certified, hotels must fulfil internationally defined criteria specially adapted for establishments within the tourism sector. They must make considerable environmental efforts across areas such as food and beverage, energy, waste, and water. They should also calculate their carbon footprint and set targets to reduce it. 

Watts happening 

Save energy by turning off computers, laptops and other electronic devices when not in use. Recharge them only when needed. Turn off the AC and switch off the lights when leaving your hotel room. 

Recycling made easy 

Use the designated recycling bins throughout the congress centre to help us get your waste where it needs to go. 

Your badge holder and lanyard will live again 

When you leave, please deposit your badge holder and lanyard in the corresponding waste bins. Whenever possible reuse your old lanyard.
