Madrid is positioning itself as an attractive destination for sustainable events, focusing on green spaces, cultural preservation, and innovative platforms for comprehensive legacy and sustainability management. The city’s pedestrian-friendly design, tree-lined streets, and abundance of parks make it an ideal location for eco-friendly exploration, with bike lanes and bike-sharing programs enhancing sustainable mobility. Madrid boasts over 200 parks, including the UNESCO World Heritage Site El Retiro Park and the ecological restoration-focused Madrid Río Park.
The city’s commitment to sustainability extends to its culinary scene, with gourmet restaurants like El Invernadero and Coque receiving recognition for sustainable gastronomy. Local markets and restaurants follow a “Fresh, Local, Organic, Seasonal, and Sustainable” (FLOSS) philosophy, offering zero-mile ingredients and Madrid’s Designation of Origin products.
Incentive trips can incorporate sustainable shopping by supporting local artisanal businesses in various neighborhoods. Participants can learn traditional crafts at workshops led by skilled artisans, contributing to the preservation of local trade and culture.
Madrid Convention Bureau (MCB) introduces the PLUS Legacy with US initiative, a digital platform aligning events with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. The platform provides sustainability reports and recommendations to minimize environmental and social impact, emphasizing the city’s commitment to long-lasting positive change. MCB serves as a crucial liaison to ensure that meetings contribute positively to the city, aligning with the evolving mission and vision of associations and companies hosting events in Madrid.
