GSTC MICE Criteria for Venues, Event Organizers, and Events & Exhibitions
The GSTC MICE Criteria have been developed for Venues, Event Organizers, and Events & Exhibitions.
Some of the uses of the criteria include the following:
Help define sustainability in a holistic manner
Raise awareness of the breadth and nature of sustainability
Serve as the basis for certification for sustainability
Serve as basic guidelines for MICE businesses to become more sustainable, which includes guidance for identifying more sustainable suppliers and service providers
Provide greater market access in the growing market for sustainable businesses, serving as guidance for the MICE businesses in choosing suppliers and partners
Help consumers identify sound sustainable MICE businesses
Serve as a common denominator for information media to recognize sustainable MICE businesses
Offer both the public and private sectors a starting point for developing sustainable MICE business requirements
Serve as basic guidelines for education and training on sustainable MICE by universities, hospitality schools, or associations
Demonstrate leadership that inspires others to act
The GSTC Criteria indicate what should be done, not how to do it or whether the goal has been achieved. This role is fulfilled by performance indicators, associated educational materials, and access to tools for implementation, all of which are an indispensable complement to the GSTC Criteria.
