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 reduced to the essentials.
  • 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!
  • 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.

 

Raising Awareness & Supporting Communities

Our Exhibitors

  • Highlighting the most ecoresponsible entries.
  • For the 2024 edition, the furniture, structures, and lighting of our equipped booths are systematically reused across our exhibitions and transported from the Île-de-France region.
