Did you know that we do care to make this first Salon de l'Escalade a responsible event, in its realization as in each stage of its preparation!

For example, for meetings with our service providers and customers, we prioritize the conf-call or Skype tools. When we travel, we promote carpooling and public transit, and consolidate travel. Obvious.

Beyond that, since too many events produce large amounts of waste and unrepresentative use of resources, we make a point of privileging the choices that are oriented towards a sobriety of needs.

Here are a few examples :

- the use of carpets - often for single use - will be limited to the maximum on the day,

- we make sure to select local and responsible providers for the provision of food and beverages,

- we will favor the use of Eco-cups rather than disposable plastic cups, and provide in addition to 100% biodegradable (and not biofragmentable!) corn starch cups,

- solutions to facilitate carpooling to get to the show will be put in place, by us and / or through smart partnerships,

- and for local visitors, the fact that the event takes place intramural and therefore easily accessible by bike and public transport will avoid the use of a vehicle to get there.

 

We are helped in this eco-responsible approach by the NGO "Du Flocon à la Vague - Water Family" which helps us, since the beginning of the project, to respect the commitments of a sustainable charter for the design (limitation and regrouping of travel), promotion (dematerialized solutions, or on recycled paper and vegetable inks) and the realization of our event (as indicated above).

Finally, many exhibitors will be there to raise awareness, during the Fair, about initiatives, technologies and responsible approaches, here are some examples:

Promote the reuse of the material with the theme of the remelting and the repair of technical clothing,

Collect used equipment for recycling, or equipment you no longer need to give to charities,

Offer quality local food and beverages, with vegetarian alternatives,

Communicating for associations committed to environmental or social actions and solidarity ...
