Our environmental policy

Dealing with environmental issues is a priority for Toulouse Événements. For this very reason, our 3 sites (Pierre Baudis Congress Centre, MEETT Toulouse Exhibition & Convention Centre and Espaces Vanel) have been ISO 20121 certified since july 2022. This International Standard was developed to promote responsible consumption and mitigate negative impacts on local infrastructure and public services, thereby reducing the potential for conflict within the communities hosting the events.

Since the establishment of its development policy in 2009, GL events has demonstrated its commitment by implementing three programmes: Think Green, Think People and Think Local, based on different issues according to the activity.

• Think Green: the environmental aspect

• Think People: the social aspect

• Think Local: the societal aspect

Their deployment follows a logic of continuous improvement, based on issues that are both transversal and specific to the different activities of the Group's three core businesses (live events, exhibitions and venues).

 

KEY FACTS FOR 2017 :

• The GL events group signs the Charter of 1,000 Businesses for integration in the Lyon metropolitan area
