Corporate Social Responsibility

Dear attendees,

As part of our IFSCC 2025 conference, we want to implement several measures to reduce food waste. Millions of tons of food are thrown away every year, representing not only a loss of resources (water, energy, agricultural land), but also an ethical problem when people still suffer from hunger in the world. To limit waste and better manage quantities and avoid surpluses, we encourage you  :
- to only register for meals that you wish to participate in.
- to register for our event as soon as possible to be ready for the maximum number of participants to book catering.

Any surplus food not consumed will be redistributed to local associations, in compliance with food safety standards. If you have a last-minute impediment, please let us know so we can reallocate your meal. Together we can make this conference a success story in reducing food waste.

Thank you for your collaboration!

CSR Recommendations

  • Restoration: we work closely with local and responsible suppliers, thus promoting short circuits and supporting the local economy. We pay particular attention to responsible waste management. We implement waste management practices aimed at reducing, reusing, and recycling as much as possible to minimize our ecological footprint. Promotion of sustainable eating: We are committed to offering menus that showcase fresh, seasonal ingredients from organic or sustainable agriculture, thus promoting the health of our customers and the planet.
  • Layout: prioritize rented, previously used, reusable elements from the recycling circuit, or those that can be recycled. Equip luminous furniture with LED bulbs.
  • Audio-visual: prioritize rented, previously used, and reusable elements. Favor dark-colored visuals and videos in HD format not exceeding 1080x1920 pixels.
  • Transport and accommodation: prioritize travel by train, carpooling, and public transportation. Choose accommodations closest to the event venue to limit transportation.
  • Communication: limit the distribution of goodies, replace them with services, or use relevant items from the recycling circuit or those that can be recycled. Use posters/banners/roll-up banners, etc., that are already used, reusable, from the recycling circuit, or recyclable. Do not include images in email signatures.
  • On-site: turn off stands at the end of the day, implement waste sorting according to the available options on-site.
