Bled Strategic Forum 2011, taking place on 9 an 10 September in Bled, was the first large international event organised under the principles of the ‘Green for events’ programme, launched by Sava Hoteli Bled in order to offer conference organisers an opportunity to take into account various environmental and sustainable criteria when planning and organising their events. The actual environmental impact of the event was measured in a detailed carbon footprint analysis.

The analysis, the results of which will be known in October, will assess the effectiveness of the activities to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions, and point out any problematic points which still require attention. Following the analysis, a goal to further reduce the carbon footprint during next year’s event will be set and additional measures will be planned to achieve this goal. www.hotelibled.com
