THE EVENT
Our CSR Commitments
Committed to a more responsible future, TRUSTECH has adopted a CSR charter integrating societal and environmental issues into the organisation of our event. For this 2024 edition, we are implementing concrete actions around 3 main pillars: reducing the carbon impact, raising awareness and supporting our communities and encouraging inclusiveness.
For a More Sustainable Event
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become a key issue and a necessity to ensure the sustainability of our planet.
As a trade show devoted to innovation, we are firmly committed to fostering more sustainable practices. Our goal is to offer our Exhibitors and Visitors a more sustainable exhibition considering both environment and social matters.

Reducing our Carbon Footprint
Recycling Materials
- 15% less carpet than the previous edition.
- 10% of equipment recovered thanks to our partner Muto.
- Design of recycled and recyclable media: printed documents, badge holders and passes.
- The 2024 signage has been optimised by using eco-responsible materials (canvas, wood,...).
- Fully reusable spaces: 40% of our spaces are eco-designed.
- Water fountains & recycling bins are available throughout the event.
- Reducing waste through collaboration: our partner VIPARIS is dedicated to the progressive reduction of waste. In particular, since 2022, they have installed a sorting centre at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, enabling efficient separation of recyclable materials.
Encouraging Soft Mobility around the Exhibition Centre
- Carpooling is a simple and eco-friendly way to reduce our carbon footprint while fostering a sense of community! By sharing your journeys, you help to reduce pollution and traffic congestion, while also saving money. Let’s embrace this sustainable solution for our travels together!
- Take advantage of our electric shuttles between the airport and the exhibition centre.
- Self-service bicycles are widely available in Paris: there are more than ten Vélib stations within a ten-minute walk from the Park, and DOTT, LIME and TIER bicycles can also be accessed via dedicated applications.
- Self-service scooters are also widely used in Paris, with operators Cityscoot, Yego and Cooltra.
- By public transport, Paris Expo is served by two tram lines (T2 and T3a), one metro line (line 12) and two bus lines (80 and 39).
Eating more Responsibly
- Horeto, the exclusive concessionaire for our parks, is committed to offering a catering service that is 100% aware of the environmental issues at stake by proposing plantbased products, as well as fresh, seasonal produce, via its outlets.
Optimising Energy
- Switch off all equipment outside opening hours.
- Systematic shutdown of equipment not in use, including during opening hours.
- Replacing thermal bulbs with LEDs.
- On-site renewable energy, an approach that aims to reduce our carbon footprint and promote the use of clean energy resources.
