Moving towards sustainability: Transition to digital membership certificates

November 7, 2024
In alignment with our commitment to sustainability, ICOH is pleased to announce a significant change in the production of membership cards.

As announced at the ICOH2024 Congress in Marrakesh, we have decided to replace physical membership cards with digital membership certificates to reduce our carbon footprint and eliminate plastic waste.

ICOH members in good standing can download their digital membership certificate from the Private Area of the ICOH website.

Members can now store their digital membership certificate on any device, ensuring convenient access whenever needed.

This shift will not only minimize the environmental impact associated with CO2 emissions but also enables us to reallocate resources to other valuable initiatives for our members.

For any questions or assistance in accessing your digital membership certificate, please contact us at icoh@inail.it.
