Tagungserlebnis Tegernsee association signs “ rightandfair ” code of conduct
n More than 340 companies and institutions in the event industry have signed “ rightandfair ”, the sustainability code of conduct that was developed by the GCB and EVVC . One example is Tagungserlebnis Tegernsee e . V . ( TET ), a partnership of companies in the Tegernsee region .
The first sustainability workshop for the member companies of TET – over 40 hotels , event agencies , transport companies and other companies from the Tegernsee valley – was held on March 21 st , 2013 , at the Haus des Gastes venue in Tegernsee . In an official public avowal , the participants in attendance committed themselves to strive for more awareness in dealing with the environment and nature in future as well as concern for employees , customers and the people of the region .
In September 2012 during a quality conference , TET already informed its partners about the sustainability code of conduct entitled “ rightandfair ” and the next implementation steps that were planned . “ We initially wanted to raise awareness for the issue of ecological , economical and social sustainability among our colleagues . Subsequently , various partner companies then examined the thematic area intensively together with us and developed a logo as well as their own guidelines for future work in the Tegernsee region in line with the motto “ Meeting naturally in Tegernsee ”,” reports Michael Götz , Managing Director of Tagungserlebnis Tegernsee and Head of Product Development & Event Management at Tegernseer Tal Tourismus GmbH .
