n Best Energy Management / Conservation of Resources The winner in this category , the Hannover Congress Centre ( HCC ), has achieved an enormous reduction in its CO 2 emissions and water consumption through a combination of modernisation projects and switching its energy supplier . In addition , the HCC commissioned the development of an IT solution to link the EBMS event software to its building services technology . This automatically ensures that its halls and conference rooms are heated only during the times relevant for the event .
Other companies recognised in this category were the Parkhotel Stuttgart Messe-Airport and Deutsche Bahn AG , Germany ’ s national railway company .
n Best Sustainable Event This category was won by Congress Center Leipzig as the host of the 50 th ICCA Congress from 22 to 26 October 2011 . As a member of the marketing cooperation “ Feel the
Spirit ”, which was coordinated by Leipzig Tourismus und Marketing GmbH and Leipziger Messe GmbH , Congress Center Leipzig and its local partners designed and implemented a sustainable mobility solution for the congress . The “ ICCA Green Traffic Project ”, led by apprentices from the various companies , developed a transfer solution for congress participants , which used only local public transport services . Not only did the solution prove itself sustainable but the reception among participants and the public was overwhelmingly positive .
The other nominee in the category Best Sustainable Event was the 34 th Protestant Kirchentag Hamburg 2013 - the nationwide gathering of the protestant church in Germany .
