Sustainability
For a few years now, CIRED has tried to favor more sustainable practices in its organisation of conferences, workshops, and committee meetings.
While keeping the same quality standards, our team works on making our events greener.
Material
- Reducing of material orders to the strict minimum
- Preference for biodegradable or eco-friendly material (pens, pads, lanyards, badges, bags)
- Preference for superior-quality material
- Arrangements with associations to collect and reuse unused material
- Reducing of single-use printed paper (event guide, programme, etc.)
Transportation
- Meetings online or in cities and locations easily accessible by train for most participants
- Choice of conference centers reachable with public transportation from the airport and city center
- Encouragements to use public transport by providing complete information on local companies and itinerary
Catering
- Preference for local providers and produce
- Preference for the most sustainable provider
- Water fountains available when possible
- Glass water bottles on stages and at meetings when possible
- Reusable or recyclable dishes and cutlery when possible
- Arrangements for waste reductions with local associations when possible
