    Energy independence is our superpower<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The city is actively investing in renewable energy sources \u2013 in 2023, it saved 16 million PLN by producing energy from renewable sources and waste incineration at the EcoGenerator. The Water and Sewage Company covers nearly 30% of its energy needs from its own sources, demonstrating real actions toward energy independence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Szczecin boasts modern infrastructure and experience in organizing eco-themed events, such as international conferences dedicated to green energy. Its location on the border with Germany and proximity to Scandinavia also make it an attractive destination for participants from across Europe, adding an international dimension to events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Global Destination Sustainability (GDS-Index)<\/strong><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The GDS-Index is an international rating system that supports collaboration and the exchange of best practices. By joining the GDS-Index, cities confirm their commitment to sustainable development. With certification, the tourism and events industry becomes more responsible and environmentally friendly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
