SUSTAINABILITY
Aiming at sustainability from a sporting as well as an environmental point of view, the 2019
World Rowing Championships will be held as „Green Event“. Together with the Austrian
Ministry for Environmental Affairs, measures ranging from waste management to sustainable
catering were developed in order to keep the ecological footprint as small as possible.
