MCO CONGRESS: ISO 20121 CERTIFICATION IN PROGRESS
We are determined to develop our activity in an eco-responsible way. The international standard ISO 20121 meets a responsible management system applied to the event business.
ISO 20121 is a concrete tool to organize events contributing to the three dimensions: economic – environmental and social – sustainable development.
Working in a committed way and having an impact on our scale is at the heart of our priorities: federating our teams, our customers and service providers around a project that makes sense is of paramount importance.
There is no lack of good environmental or social practices at each stage of the organization of an event. From its conception (places, equipment, positioning, transport, communication, …), to its realization (animations, selective sorting, catering, awareness, equipment, …) and to its dismantling (valorization, donations, …), tools and labels exist to help us structure our eco-responsible approach.
