The GL events group is committed to ESG initiatives, deployed during the EXPOBIOGAZ exhibition.
OUR IN SHOW ESG APPROACH
ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) is a central theme of our activities and of our company. The Expobiogaz show limits its environmental impact by implementing dedicated action plans with concrete results. We set out to reduce our carbon footprint, limit the use of expendables to maximize our circular economy, and to develop diversity and the local benefit from our events.
All our advertising and promotional documents (brochures, flyers, invitation cards, press kits, etc.) are printed on recycled paper
Many of our media targeting visitors are digital
Visitors’ badges are digital
Use of recyclable materials for small signage at the show
Eco-design
Integration of recyclable or reusable materials (wood, cardboard, etc.) in the design of stands and common spaces
Furniture re-use and rental for the event
Use of recyclable fitted carpets in some show spaces
Transport
Encouragement to carpooling
Soft mode access to the exhibition centre: tramway
Waste sorting
Waste sorting during assembly, operation and dismantling and waste valorisation
Installation of waste sorting dustbins in the show aisles to sort visitors’ waste
Materials sorted are wood (partitions, flooring), cardboard, brochures and a big percentage of fitted carpet.
Eurexpo gives customers a Sorting Guide
For furnishing and fitting waste, we have a partnership with Valdelia, an environmentally-friendly organization approved by the French ministry for ecology, sustainable development and energy. Valdélia collects everything made from wood (partitions, flooring, etc.) as well as furnishing and fittings abandoned on the show after dismantling. They are removed in a specific container.
