As a carbon-neutral company, they approach the MICE market with an integrated vision of environmental, social and economic sustainability. The path towards receiving the certification was accompanied by radical business transformation, in which the OIC Group demonstrated unparalleled commitment towards the themes of corporate social responsibility, a philosophy that today permeates every aspect of the organization.
As part of their sustainable development, a decision was made to change headquarters to via della Giovine Italia in Florence, with the clear objective of dramatically reducing waste and environmental impact. They also activated a partnership with Up2You, the Green-tech B Corp that accompanies companies in personalized paths for calculating and reducing emissions.
The Q1 successes for OIC don’t stop here. Ginevra De Bellis, Head of the Department for International Relations and Management Nominations for the OIC Group, was the winner announced at the IAPCO (International Association of Professional Congress Organizers) annual meeting held this March in Ljubljana, Slovenia. The award is one of the three exclusive prizes that are presented annually by IAPCO, recognizing those who embody excellence and dedication in the field of events organization and management.
Nicola Testai, CEO of the OIC Group, praised Ginevra for her positive influence within the company, saying,
“Ginevra’s ability to facilitate discussions about industry trends and problem-solving highlights her role as a facilitator, particularly in events where she represents OIC, making her a central figure in identifying changing trends in the meeting industry”
The award includes a prestigious trophy and a scholarship that includes travel and accommodation to attend the 2025 IAPCO Annual Meeting.
