Notre démarche RSE

Our CSR approach

A CSR strategy “in progress” at the heart of our trade show organization

Since 2020, the Infopro Digital Trade Shows teams have implemented several initiatives to minimize the environmental impact of our events.

This continuous improvement initiative aims to offer you increasingly sustainable trade shows and to create a virtuous ecosystem in close collaboration with our exhibitors, visitors, and partners, in order to enhance our environmental responsibility.

Educational communication tools


  • Publication of a document in collaboration with the Paris Expo – Porte de Versailles exhibition center and the company Paprec Recyclage, in charge of recycling on the site, to explain the sorting rules to be applied at the event.

  • Distribution of the document in advance to exhibitors and stand builders.

  • Individual meetings were held with each stand builder during the setup process to provide information and explanations.

During the trade show

Booths & activity areas

  • Strengthening environmental considerations in our choice of vendors: materials used, signage, eco-design, waste management, reuse, and the lifespan of booths…

  • New storage/reuse policy: Custom-built stands and furniture designed to be shared across multiple group trade shows and reused (target: at least 10 rotations)

  • 100% LED stand lighting: Previously halogen, LEDs could reduce the environmental impact by 85% (source: ADEME)

  • No carpeting in aisles and common areas: With 4,000 m² of aisles and common areas without carpeting, SIDO avoids 48 tons of CO₂ emissions (based on an estimated 12 kg/m² of CO₂ by the Construction 21 association and ADEME)

Catering & Snacking

  • Choosing a Committed Service Provider: The fair has a long-standing partnership with LE COUSU, a family-run business on a human scale that is committed to several causes: waste reduction, sorting and repurposing of surplus food, eco-cups and reusable tableware, and 100% local and seasonal sourcing.

  • Combating food waste: The fair benefits from partnerships established with the Lyon Convention Center. As a result, Le Chainon Manquant recovers several thousand meals each year (3,500 in 2019)

  • Implementation of 3 sorting streams (general waste / paper-cardboard / plastics) in the aisles

  • Installation of glass collection bins in bars and restaurants

  • Glass collection in the evening (placed at the edge of the aisles by exhibitors)

  • Composting of food waste and recycling within a circular economy system, in partnership with the social enterprise AIDEN.

  • Use of compostable packaging for food service.

Transportation

  • Raising awareness of sustainable transportation options: We are encouraging all exhibitors and visitors to use transportation modes with a lower environmental impact.

  • Incorporating “transportation management” criteria into the selection of service providers: We reduced the number of semi-trailers by 50% through transportation optimization by our subcontractor.

  • Implementation of a free carpooling solution for trade show visitors and exhibitors, in partnership with MOBICOOP, a commission-free, cooperative carpooling platform.

Dismantling time

  • Collection of lanyards and badge holders.

  • Collection of PVC tarps: Thanks to the partnership between Lyon for Events and Ecopack Solutions, PVC tarps are collected and transformed into packaging “made in Auvergne.” 1 m² of tarpaulin = 3 packages produced = 24 boxes saved

  • Recovery of all pallets by Cagibig

  • Recycling of stand carpeting
  • Recylum (light bulbs) – Valdelia (furniture waste) – Ecologic (waste electrical and electronic equipment) – Ecopack Solution (recovery of PVC tarps)

  • Waste sorting & recovery:
  • Cardboard/paper > recycling > Paprec Recyclage
  • Wood > recovery > Valdelia
  • Plastics > recycling > Paprec Recyclage
  • Glass > recycling > Paprec Recyclage
  • Metals > recycling > Paprec Recyclage
