A brief description of the institution’s green event certification program:

The Green Event Certification started in 2016. Its objective is to reduce the negative impact of all the University events. It is a voluntary participation and certification with four levels of awards: bronze, silver, gold and platinum, depending of the % of minimization of negative impacts. The manual includes eight main categories: transport, paper, food services, energy and mitigation, waste, communication and innovation. It has become also a tool for sustainability communication.
