La responsabilité sociétale des entreprises (RSE) est définie par la commission européenne comme l’intégration volontaire par les entreprises de préoccupations sociales et environnementales à leurs activités commerciales et leurs relations avec les parties prenantes.
Si la RSE est la mise en pratique des actions durable appliquée pour les entreprises, le sigle ESG désigne les critères Environnementaux, Sociaux et de Gouvernance à prendre en compte pour évaluer une politique RSE.

Le premier objectif du Groupe GL events consiste à réduire son empreinte carbone avec pour cible la réduction de 25% de la consommation d’énergie. Des mesures ont été prises pour y parvenir, notamment avec un plan de sobriété énergétique ambitieux, en favorisant les énergies renouvelables, en encourageant les transports et la mobilité décarbonés et en mesurant son empreinte carbone.
GL events a également construit une trajectoire de réduction des émissions.

Le deuxième objectif est de limiter l’utilisation de produits à usage unique et maximiser son économie circulaire. Le Groupe a mis en place une politique d’éco-conception afin de maximiser par rotation des actifs la réduction des déchets, et GL events travaille continuellement à améliorer le tri et la valorisation des déchets.

Le troisième objectif consiste à développer la diversité et les territoires à travers les partenariats et les actions GLO-CAL. GL events est engagé dans des actions de solidarité et de philanthropie. Le Groupe encourage les achats responsables et soutient l’ESS (Économie Sociale et Solidaire). GL events croit également que la diversité est une force et la promeut à travers ses valeurs éthiques et entrepreneuriales.

Les principaux résultats de cette stratégie démontrent :

  •  
  • Une baisse de 22% des émissions en 2022 en comparaison avec
    les données publiées en 2019 sur les 3 scopes.
  • 52% de l’électricité Groupe (France et International) est qualifiée de renouvelable, dont 100% des sites Venues en France sont fournis en électricité renouvelable.
  • Une augmentation de 12 points du taux de tri. Le Groupe est
    passé de 32% en 2019 à 44% en 2022.
La vision RSE du Groupe est incarnée opérationnellement par la division GreenTech+. Celle-ci propose 9 salons dédiés à l’accélération de la transition écologique par des salons produits et des salons filières. Ce nouvel ensemble du Groupe GL events s’engage à accompagner les acteurs de la filière dans leur développement, à rechercher les solutions de demain et à diriger de plus en plus nos concitoyens vers l’éco-responsabilité.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is defined by the European Commission as the voluntary integration by companies of social and environmental considerations into their commercial activities and their dealings with stakeholders.
While CSR is the practical implementation of sustainable actions applied to companies, the acronym ESG refers to the Environmental, Social and Governance criteria to be taken into account when assessing a CSR policy.

The GL events Group’s primary objective is to reduce its carbon footprint, with the target of reducing energy consumption by 25%. Measures have been taken to achieve this, including an ambitious energy efficiency plan, promoting renewable energies, encouraging low-carbon transport and mobility and measuring its carbon footprint.
GL events has also developed a roadmap for reducing emissions.

The second objective is to limit the use of single-use products and to maximise its circular economy The Group has implemented an eco-design policy to maximise waste reduction through asset rotation, and GL events is continually working to improve waste sorting and recovery.

The third objective is to develop diversity and territories through GLO-CAL partnerships and activities. GL events is committed to solidarity and philanthropy. The Group encourages responsible purchasing and supports the SSE (Social and Solidarity Economy). GL events also believes that diversity is a strength and promotes this through its ethical and entrepreneurial values.

The main results of this strategy are seen in:

  • a 22% reduction in emissions in 2022 compared with
    the data published in 2019 for the 3 axes.
  • 52% of the Group’s electricity (France and International) being classified as renewable, including 100% of venue sites in France being supplied with renewable electricity.
  • a 12-point increase in the waste sorting rate. The Group is aiming
    to increase this figure from 32% in 2019 to 44% in 2022.

The Group’s CSR vision is embodied operationally by the GreenTech+ division. This organises 9 trade fairs dedicated to accelerating the ecological transition through product and industry trade fairs. This new GL events Group entity is committed to supporting the industry’s players in their development, seeking out solutions for the future and encouraging our fellow citizens to become increasingly eco-responsible.
