OUR CSR APPROACH
A “work in progress” CSR strategy in the heart of the organisation of our events
Since 2020, several initiatives have been put in place by the Infopro Digital Trade Shows team to limit the impact of our events on the environment.
The aim of this continuous improvement approach is to offer you ever more responsible exhibitions and to create a virtuous ecosystem in close collaboration with our exhibitors, visitors and partners, in order to improve our environmental responsibility.
DIDACTIC COMMUNICATION TOOLS
- Publication of a document in collaboration with the Paris Expo – Porte de Versailles exhibition centre and Paprec Recyclage, the company in charge of recycling at the site, to explain the sorting rules to be applied at the event.
- Distribution of the document to exhibitors and stand staff before the event.
- Individual meetings with each stand operator during the set-up to provide information and explanations.
DURING THE EVENT
Creation of a virtuous ecosystem in the aisles and in the catering and snacking areas of the show:
- Installation of 3 sorting streams (CIW / paper-cardboard / plastics) in the aisles
- Installation of glass collectors in bars and restaurants,
- Recovery of glass in the evening (deposited at the edge of the aisle by exhibitors),
- Display of sorting information in the aisles to encourage visitors to sort their waste. The signage is printed on a reusable and 100% recyclable Reboard.
- Composting of food waste and recovery in a circular economy circuit, in partnership with the solidarity company AIDEN.
- Use of compostable packaging for catering.
- Implementation of a free carpooling solution for the visitors and exhibitors of the show, in partnership with MOBICOOP, a free, commission-free and cooperative carpooling solution.
DURING DISMANTLING
- Collection of lanyards and badge holders.
- Recovery of all the tarpaulins printed by the company Ecopack Solutions, to create packaging “made in Auvergne”.
- Recovery of all the pallets by the events company Meetings for reuse.
- Recycling of the carpet in the aisles and restaurants. Objective 2022: 100% recycled.
