A. Objectives

By encouraging Taiwan Meeting, Incentive, Conference and Exhibition (MICE) organizers to adopt a green, eco-friendly model that conserves energy and reduces CO2 emissions, the Green MICE Incentive Program (the “Incentive Program”) can create an excellent paradigm for the country’s MICE sector in pursuit of an enhanced brand image and environmental sustainability.

B. Adopting the Green MICE Guidelines

These Guidelines address two categories of MICE, namely exhibitions and conferences. The exhibition component involves the organizers and venue providers, the exhibitors and visitors, while the conference category focuses on principle stakeholders, chiefly covering the organizers, venue providers and participants.

The Incentive Program involves the five chief areas of green MICE practices (transportation, food, accommodation,decoration and promotional material) and strives to implement the "green spirit" with an emphasis on making transportation less time-consuming, the use of seasonal, locally grown ingredients and harnessing paperless technologies, avoidance of excessive packaging, reuse of resources and reduction of energy consumption. This helps MICE participants to learn the green practices that should be carried out at the various stages of pre-exhibition events, mid-exhibition events or post-exhibition events.

The Incentive Program is intended to award event organizers who play a more significant leading role relative to venue providers, exhibitors or visitors, for achieving exceptional results by complying with the Green MICE Guidelines. By openly recognizing the achievements of MICE organizers, the Incentive Program hopes to engage venue providers, exhibitors and visitors to implement the Green MICE Guidelines.
