Description
Within this project, we want to connect organic food to biodiversity and our own living environment: from food chain to food web, from mouth to soil. We aim to make the organic food chain visible through video and blockchain. We want to increase the organic supply in the hospitality sector and promote knowledge exchange and collaboration. We want to set a good example with organic production and consumption - good examples inspire imitation.

Description
The green deal events started in 2020 and will run until 2024. The green deal has been signed by 11 frontrunners, event organizers. They have made agreements to develop a CO2 reduction plan on the topics of energy, materials and plastic, food & drink, mobility, diversity and inclusion. They have drawn up an action plan to achieve the objectives in the agreement.

Description
Many of the products we use daily come from afar. This not only results in significant CO2 emissions due to transport, but it is also vulnerable. By producing products locally, less transport is needed. We become less dependent and more self-sufficient.

Mission Pathways
Representatives of Wasven are committed to the following mission pathways:
Circular neighborhoods and sustainable consumption
There are also many opportunities for a circular economy in our neighborhoods. According to the principles of the R-ladder, we will ensure that raw materials, components, and products lose their value as little as possible and that we focus on as much reuse and sharing concepts as possible.
Collaboration and knowledge sharing
Together we increase awareness and engage ambassadors, frontrunners, and exemplary projects aimed at the sustainability of business activities in our cities.
Energy and smart grids
Business parks are large consumers of energy. Sustainable energy from solar and wind is increasingly being generated. By managing demand in combination with storage and a so-called 'smart grid', this can be better aligned with supply.
Local is the norm.
Many of the products we use daily come from afar. This not only leads to significant CO₂ emissions due to transport, but it is also vulnerable. By producing products locally, less transport is needed. We become less dependent and more self-sufficient.
Sustainability of public space in the neighborhoods
We prioritize the quality of public spaces in our neighborhoods. For this, sustainability, water, and greenery are guiding principles. A green, sustainable, and healthy public space plays an important role in meeting and recreation. It is essential for, among other things, combating heat stress and water nuisance.
Sustainable and circular business operations
A sustainable and circular economy focuses on reducing consumption, production, and the reuse of products, materials, and raw materials. Companies play an important role in this.
