Our CSR approach

We have a strict waste management policy. During the set-up and dismantling phases, cardboard and wood are collected for recycling. Sorting bins are placed throughout the show to encourage recycling. In addition, water fountains have been installed to reduce the use of plastic bottles.

We are optimising our energy consumption by switching off air conditioning and heating during set-up and dismantling. The entire show is gradually switching to LED lighting, including the stands and communal areas, to reduce our carbon footprint. Carpeting is limited, household products are eco-friendly, and reusable and FSC or PEFC certified materials are favoured. The technical dossier also guides exhibitors towards more responsible practices.  

We actively encourage our visitors and exhibitors to use public transport, soft mobility solutions and car-sharing to reduce the event’s carbon footprint.

Our programme, digital catalogue and exhibition map are available in digital format to minimise printing. We also encourage our partners to limit the distribution of newspapers and magazines. The furniture used to distribute visitor tools is reused from one edition to the next, and badge holders are designed using eco-responsible materials.

Our catering services incorporate sustainable practices, with reinforced selective sorting and the recycling of green waste into compost. We actively combat the waste of resources and promote the use of recyclable and recycled products. Uneaten foodstuffs are redistributed to charities, and used glass bottles are returned and recycled. We also give preference to local or French raw materials.
