WHAT RESPONSIBLE ATTITUDES SHOULD BE ADOPTED AT TRADE SHOWS?

Who says back to school says resumption of trade shows. In the coming months, many events dedicated to the actors and solutions of the sustainable economy will be held.
If you plan to go there, whether you are a visitor or an exhibitor, follow our advice to adopt responsible practices and thus minimize your ecological footprint.

1. What transport solutions should be favored?

Whenever possible, favor soft modes of transport. Fairs are often located in large cities, in areas accessible by public transport. They are cleaner, more economical and less stressful means of transport than the car.

> The train (SNCF) : according to'ADEME traveling by train pollutes 8 times less than traveling by car

> Via the metro, tram, bus network in each city (RATP in Paris TCL In Lyon, TAN In Nantes, Full Montpellier).

> If you are nearby you can also reach the show by bike using self-service bicycle services such as Veil' In Lyon, Velib' in Paris

> If you have to take the car, prefer carpooling with Klaxit, Mobicoop or even blablaca

2. If you are an exhibitor, adopt an eco-responsible stand

Your stand must be neat because it reflects the image of your company and will catch the eye of your visitors; but its ephemeral nature can pose a problem.

Designing a responsible stand means giving priority to: 

> Some French, local manufacturers to limit the carbon footprint during transport, in particular
> Ecological and recyclable materials
