THE GREEN BEHIND THE SCENES
A “work in progress” CSR strategy at the heart of our trade shows organization
Since 2020, Infopro Digital Trade Shows teams have implemented several initiatives to minimize the environmental impact of their events. This ongoing improvement process aims to offer increasingly responsible trade shows and to create a virtuous ecosystem in close collaboration with exhibitors, visitors, and partners.
DIDACTIC COMMUNICATION TOOLS
- Creation of a “Sorting Guide” document to explain the sorting rules to be applied before, during, and after the event.
- Distribution of the document to exhibitors in advance.
DURING THE SHOW
STANDS & ANIMATION SPACES
- Strengthening the environmental component in the selection of service providers: materials used, sustainable signage, eco-design, waste management, reuse and lifespan of stands, etc.
- Special construction of stands for shared use and reuse across various group shows.
Goal: at least 10 rotations. - 100% LED lighting for stands.
- Green energy certified by the Carrousel du Louvre.
- Suspension of heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) during setup/teardown days.
- Discontinuation of carpet in the aisles.
