SUSTAINABLE MEETING PLACES
At Skånska Möten, we work for a more sustainable conference industry, where everyone must have the opportunity to participate on equal terms and with consideration for climate, environment and ethics. Most of our meeting places work actively with sustainability issues and many have obtained labels or certifications from various organizations. You can see them during their respective presentations.
