Since 2021, our Marcadé agency, across its French operations, has been committed to a CSR strategy based on the principle of continuous improvement.
Through our event activities, we strive to reduce our environmental footprint while strengthening our positive social impact.
Our CSR policy is built on 12 commitments that guide each of our projects, inspired by sustainable development principles such as inclusion, the duty of care, integrity, and transparency.
Our agency Marcadé SAS is ISO 20121 certified, offering our clients transparency and the guarantee of a structured approach to CSR for their events.
1. Travel less, travel better
Team and guest travel account for up to 80% of an event's carbon emissions. We are committed to making travel greener, reducing it, or even cancelling it when unnecessary.
2. Eco-responsible design and production
A responsible event must be planned as such from the very first design stage. We integrate sustainable practices right from conception and throughout our entire production process.
3. Prioritise recycled, rented, or reusable materials
Since single-use items are a major source of waste, we prioritise recycled, rented, or reusable materials with the aim of giving them a second life.
4. Support the local economy
With a view to reducing travel and respecting local areas, we are committed to being active contributors to regional economies.
5. Waste reduction, sorting, and recycling
We adopt a waste reduction policy for our events, supported by clear sorting and recycling objectives.
6. Reduction of single-use plastics
Plastic is everywhere in our daily lives. Its composition and production are increasingly harmful to the environment. We are committed to eliminating single-use plastics at our events.
7. Responsible catering
Working alongside catering specialists, we prioritize responsible dining: seasonal, local, and eco-packaged. We also donate untouched surplus food to charitable organizations.
8. Transition to clean energy
We prioritize green energy networks for the electricity consumed by our events and travel.
9. Promoting responsible venues
During our scouting process, we prioritize responsible locations: geographical positioning, appropriate event design, energy performance, comfort, accessibility, neighborhood integration, and more.
10. Involving suppliers in our approach
We select and/or raise awareness among our partners to foster mutual improvement.
11. Social commitment
We aim to integrate social responsibility into our approach by fostering a supportive and positive professional atmosphere.
12. Post-event review for continuous improvement
With a commitment to continuous improvement, we conduct reviews at the end of each event to ensure our responsibility charter is properly implemented.
