LOW-CARBON COMMITMENTS
Since 2020, we have been measuring the carbon footprint of the event while implementing an annual strategy to avoid and reduce emissions in all areas.
For the unavoidable emissions generated we set up climate contribution actions.
We also propose to participants to contribute to this project. In 2022, we initiated the eco-committed event audit and certification to go deeper in partnership with ClimateSeed.
