Sustainable cultural institutions, that are awarded the Austrian Ecolabel, are focussing on sustainability, ecology, conscious use of resources and socio-political responsibility in their daily mangement as well as in the planning of their events or exhibitions.
The Diagonale, the festival of Austrian film, celebrated several Green Events/Green Meetings certifications in 2023 as well as Austria's first green cinema.
Originally conceived as a certification for hotels, the UZ 200 guideline has also opened up to culture in recent years. After museums, other actors are also interested in credibly demonstrating their efforts in the field of sustainability. Theatres and cinemas are particularly committed to this and so in the future it will also be possible for them to receive an award for their sustainable orientation.
